Adam Entous of Reuters shows Matthew Hoye or Phil Hirshkorn the true power of this fully-operational battle idiom:
Democrat John Kerry will dispatch two fellow Vietnam veterans to President Bush’s secluded Texas ranch on Wednesday to press him to condemn television advertisements accusing Kerry of lying about his wartime service.
The move comes one day after it was disclosed that a top lawyer for Bush’s re-election campaign has been providing legal advice to the group behind the ads, the so-called Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
You see how it casts aspersions on the group’s name even though it’s allegedly only modifying the name?
A piece of dirty trick writing art!
