"I was looking over the current crop of articles on Kerry at Google NEws today and I am astonished to see what appears to be a well orchestrated smear-campaign, vitriolic and sarcastic and defamatory articles suddenly cropping up from scores of small papers like so many synchronized squeaking puppets."

What? How can we complain about the well orchestrated, vitriolic, sarcastic and defamatory smear-campaign that's been going on against Bush all these years if there's suddenly one against Kerry, too? There's no point of crying foul if both sides are doing it!
