McCain Uses Swift Boat Vet Bud Day To Rebut Wesley Clark

Sen. John McCain's campaign launched on Monday, the McCain "Truth Squad" - a group of political and Vietnam contemporaries who would counter attacks on the Senator's military record.

In hopes of nipping any criticism in the bud, the campaign brought on board a man quite familiar with how these types of attacks gain legs: Bud Day, a fellow POW who was part of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth squad that had worked so hard to defame Sen. John Kerry's own Vietnam record.

On the conference call, Day - in addition to the other participants - decried comments made by Gen. Wesley Clark over the weekend, in which he questioned whether McCain's war experience really qualified him to be commander-in-chief. Defending McCain's service, Day was quick to personalize his remarks.

    • Looks like Grampers is telling Uncle Mo to crank up his hearing aid. Those two look like geezers vets at the local VFW. I'm hearing the Glen Miller Orchestra and the all the drunken conspiracy theories surrounding Mr. Miller's disappearance right about now.

      "IT WAS ALL IKE'S FAULT, DAMMIT!"

      Kindly show Grampers and Uncle Mo back to the Facility. We don't want those two to miss bedcheck at Shady Pines. The last time Uncle Mo was late, they printed his obituary in the paper.

    • Interesting that someone who criticized the Swift-Boating at the time of the 2004 election (McCain) would now hire them to be hit-men for him..... [irol]
