Spin

Spinsanity carries an entry about the (absence of) veracity of the infamous Swift Vets for Truth attack ad.

Of course, the problem is that it matters little that the ad is pure bullshit when Fox keeps perpetuating the message in the guise of news analysis (and as the entry points out, in exaggerating the association between the disgruntled vets and Kerry).

Some analysis suggests that the ad will actually backfire on the Dubyas... we'll see. My guess is that most but the true believers who wouldn't change their vote if Bush sprouted horns and a tail on national TV side with McCain and find the ad offensive and irrelevant.
