This morning’s e-mails go like this:

Really, I mean I know your job is to shill for the GOP but this is just
surreally stupid, the Swift Vets did more damage to the Kerry campaign
than even Kerry did! To suggest that they weren’t a product created and
nurtured by Team Bush is beyond ludicrous; I’m trying to figure out if
you’re a liar or a moron.
“Just kidding! I know you’re both.

What I had in mind when I wrote “As I recall the White House tried to shut the Swift Vets down.” was the president’s anti-527ism.
