…Boat veteran (in this case, John Kerry). I didn’t bother much with the

Swift Boat stuff for a while there, assuming it was just low-level electoral

churning & didn’t have much to do with the big issues. The more I read

about this, though, the more it seems to me the Kerry campaign is starting

to spring some nasty leaks over this controversy, like, oh, a Swift Boat

that’s taken some incoming rounds below the water line. Hey, maybe

character DOES count!
