The Prince of Tallahassee (hearts) the Swift Boat Liars
Posted by Jill | 10:52 AM
Peter Daou has a letter that Newt Gingrich Wet Dream Future Republican Presidential Nominee Jeb Bush wrote to one of the Swift Boat liars, praising his "willingness to stand up against John Kerry.

Sayeth Mr. Daou at Salon:

Exclusive: Love Letter from Jeb Bush to Swift Boat Liars - "As someone who truly understands the risk of standing up for something, I simply cannot express in words how much I value their willingness to stand up against John Kerry. Their efforts, like their service to their country, speak volumes about what matters most." - Jeb Bush, January 19, 2005....So let's get this straight: the value of "standing up to" (i.e. smearing) a man who volunteered to risk his life for America "cannot be expressed in words" because, like service to the nation, it "speaks volumes about what matters most." Yes it does, in the twisted view of America's far right, where vilifying war heroes like Murtha, Cleland, and Kerry is a noble cause. And slandering those who are disgusted by Abu Ghraib and Haditha is laudable. And sitting behind a computer cheering on and "supporting the troops" while they lie dead and dying in the streets of Baghdad is respectable. And impugning the integrity of the majority of Americans who want the troops to come home is commendable. Yes, it's a great mission to slime a decorated veteran.... in the twisted view of people whom Al Gore calls "renegade rightwing extremists."


These are the people that Jeb Bush can be expected to suck up to when he attempts to ascend to the Bush Family Throne.

Get ready.
