COULD THE SWIFT BOAT VETS AFFECT THE DNC CHAIR RACE?
Mickey Kaus quotes Harold Ickes, one of the candidates for chairman of the Democratic National Committee:
P.P.P.S.: Dem operative Harold Ickes apparently didn't share the respectable-press CW that the Swift Boat attacks on Kerry were 100% discredited. It was, Ickes says, "a matter so personal to Senator Kerry, so much within his knowledge. Who knew what the facts were?"
Folks who were not such big fans of Kerry figured this out a while ago. If the candidate had had the facts, why didn't he come out swinging and pointing to them?
If I were some rival of Ickes (COUGHhowarddeanCOUGH) I would be circulating this quote, and charging, "Harold Ickes believes the Swift Boat Vets for Truth."
