This is also worth noting. Although John McCain went over the top in his condemnation of the first Swift vet ad, he very pointedly does not condemn the second Swift vet ad -- the one that holds John Kerry accountable for his 1971 blanket smear of Vietnam vets as "war criminals".
And I didn't know this. It seems McCain got crazy angry at George Bush over a lot of nothing taking place during the South Carolina primary in 2000. It turns out the "Bush smear of McCain" is another Michael Moore / national press myth you won't ever stop hearing about.
