This just gets stranger and stranger. As Ned has pointed out, and other news outlets, as well, the allegedly forged documents provided to 60 Minutes were provided by Kerry supporters. If, in fact, Kerry supporters are responsisble for these forgeries, then 1) they're not very good at it, and 2) I owe President Bush an apology.

The dynamics of this election get more and more fascinating. The kind of candidate support that we're seeing has never been seen before, possibly due to the McCain-Feingold bill which has given PACs like MoveOn.org more power than they would have had in previous elections. Why? Because candidates cannot air advertisements within sixty days of an election. Individual people, however, may do whatever they like. What we're seeing now is candidates' supporters making statements and arguments without the candidates even present! When MoveOn.org or Swiftboat Veterans for Truth makes a statement, it is not Bush or Kerry speaking, but Bush or Kerry supporters usurping the candidates' voices. This election gets more and more interesting.

As an aside, a month ago, I listened as Rush Limbaugh insinuated (but as he is so good at doing, never explicitly stated) that George Soros, the major financier of MoveOn.org, might be in violation of campaign finance laws since he isn't an American. (Rush then proceeded to complain about why no one was taking issue with Soros and relating this to the Buddhist monk scandal of Gore 2000.) In fact, Soros became an American citizen in 1964, and as far as I know, even naturalized citizens are entitled to the same rights as natural-born citizens.
