How stupid do Democrats think the American populace is? Wait, don't answer that...

First Lady Laura Bush was asked about whether or not the Swift Boat ads against John Kerry were "unfair". According to CNN.com, this was her response...

"Not really," she replies. "There have been millions of terrible ads against my husband."

The Democrats knee jerk response...

"Mrs. Bush's statement in support of the swift boat smear ads is more sad evidence that these attacks have been coordinated from the top down at the White House," Kerry campaign spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said in a statement.

Remember back in the day when any criticsm of Hillary was mean-spirited? Apparently Laura Bush is fair game...here she is responding that both her husband and Kerry are being attacked by 527 group ads, and she doesn't see how it is unfair. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

President Bush has been the target of an unprecedented privately funded and perfectly legal smear campaign paid for by George Soros. These attacks are outright lies and slander, yet John Kerry resfuses to denounce them. Instead Democrats insist that only attacks on their boy be silenced. This smacks of the same double standard we see with the candidates war records. It is perfectly OK to go over every inch of Bush's National Guard service, but any examination, even the most cursory, of Kerry's dubious Vietnam claims is an attack on the very foundations of democracy.

I anticipate that much like Bob Dole, John Kerry's attempt to run as the "anti-Bush" will meet with the same success as running as the "anti-Clinton".
