I think you are being niavely optomistic, Alex.
Some folks who have the intelligence required to see right through this were (and might still be) taken in by it. It should have been plainly obvious from the very beginning that this was nothing more than a repeat of what the did to McCain in 2000. You think those kind of people are going to let a little bit of truth impair their world-view?
When you are so blinded by belief in your particular ideaology (or idiotology) you can very easilly dismiss any attempt to refute the charges as more efforts by the biasedliberalmediaconspiracy to steal the Presidency from GW.
For the record, I think an appropriate response by Senator Kerry should be couched in the exact same terms as President Truman's response to the music critic of a Washington newspaper. (for far more valid reasons).
I have to admit, though, I feel sorry for President Bush. He doesn't get the respect he deserves. After all, he did defend the Mexican-American border in missions that are obvously so fucking sensitive and secret that nobody can yet say where he was for the last year (+/-) of his valiant service in the reserves.

Isnt it odd how flippant we are to see any argument against the current administration as a transparent attempt by the lying media, and at the same time, if you switch the talking head being flogged, the same arguments all of a sudden carry weight?
