Kerry and the Swift Boat Controversy

Thursday August 26, 2004
"The Daily Show" takes a closer look at the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and discovers they are neither swift nor truthful.

The Professional Cartoonists Index presents a collection of political cartoons about the Swift boat controversy.

Mark Fiore weighs in on the sliming of John Kerry in this animated cartoon.

White House.org presents a new campaign commercial revealing the real truth about Kerry's military service.

Cockeyed.com takes a closer look at the war medals of George W. Bush.

Various Web satirists bring you Cheerleaders for Truth, Pleasure Boat Captains for Truth, Swift Yacht Vets For Bush, and Row Boat Veterans For Truth.

David Letterman sums up the Swift boat flap:

"Have you folks been following the controversy with John Kerry and his service in Vietnam and the Swift boat campaign? It all took place in Vietnam and now it just won't go away. I was thinking about this — if John Kerry had just ducked the war like everybody else he wouldn't have this trouble." —David Letterman
