The Kerry campaign can't seen to move on; they've been crying foul about the so-called "ties" between the Swift Vets and President Bush's campaign. Now it seems that they've taken the next step in their dizzying spin campaign:

A senior House Democrat, Michigan Rep. John Dingell, sent a letter asking Attorney General John Ashcroft to investigate the possible "illegal coordination" between the two. The Bush campaign and the veterans group have denied any coordination.

Of course, there was no "illegal coordination." When John Ashcroft inevitably reports that these charges have no absolutely no basis in fact, the Dems are already no doubt ready to start screaming "cover up! cover up!" and "Ashcroft should "recuse" himself!!"

These people are traitors. They would destroy the public's faith in the American system just to win a few points in the realm of public opinion. Unfortunately, stunts like this never seem to backfire on the perpetraitors - they only serve to weaken the nation.
