The “Swiftvets” – already tied to the Bush campaign in numerous ways (including through three campaign workers, two of whom resigned when their connection was publicized), and who were founded and funded by close Bush supporters, are now revealed to have further ties to Bush and to Robert Novak, the conservative columnist who has been [...]

More Swiftvet Sleaze

This was a very interesting book. It was partly a memoir of what happened in the Dean campaign, but that was not its strength. It did not have enough “dirt” in it too really be of interest to historians and people fascinated by the play of ideals and egos in a campaign. Yes, the broad [...]
Another Cultural Index

Marshall on 527s
Posted in Politics on August 27, 2004 |

Kerry has been the victim of SBVT. Now, my guiding assumption in this case is that Republicans are [...]

The International Gymnastics Foundation is asking Paul Hamm to voluntarily give up his gold medal as a show of sportsmanship: World gymnastics officials asked Paul Hamm to give up his gold medal as the ultimate show of sportsmanship, but the U.S. Olympic Committee told them to take responsibility for their own mistakes and refused even [...]

Pinochet has been cleared for trial (again) by the Chilean Supreme Court, in the case of assassinations conducted during his execrable dictatorship.
