Presidential Auction 2004

President Bush said on Monday advertisements by independent groups attacking Democrat John Kerry's service in Vietnam should be stopped along with all other ads run by independent groups.

The president said he wants to stop "all of them. That means that ad and every other ad." He was referring to a commercial by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, who have claimed Kerry lied about his record.

Unlike previous statements by the White House, Bush this time referred specifically to the ad attacking Kerry's Vietnam service record.

He did not specify what action might be taken to stop the advertisements run by independent groups.

Backfired. Got a little too hot in the kitchen. Proven lies and connections to the Bush campaign of the Swiftboat smear ad. Forced his hand.

But, notice, he couldn't just condemn the smear ad connected to his own campaign ("independent" - ha!), he had to lump all independent ads together like a busted bully crybaby. Or a dictator-tot. I want it all stopped! All of it! (Sound of little feet stomping.) I have recently experienced a tyrannical little fundamentalist boss with the very same approach.

What a joke. Er...jerk.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
