Obama should be glad someone wants to "swift-boat" him

Saturday is usually a quiet day on the political news front, but not yesterday. Robert Novak started the fun, when he made the claim in his latest column that the Hillary Clinton campaign has "scandalous information" about her chief rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Barack Obama.

HRC's camp is denying Novak's report, meanwhile, my senator is claiming that the Clinton campaign is using "swift boat" tactics.

Although he trails Hillary Clinton in all national polls--by a lot--Obama should be fortunate that someone would want to "swift-boat" him.

I'm sure the other candidates for the Democratic nomination, such as Mike Gravel, Bill Richardson, Christopher Dodd, or Joe Biden, would welcome the gift of being deemed important enough to receive such an attack.

On the other hand, Dennis Kucinich, another opinion poll bottom-feeder, is so weird, he can always "swift boat" himself.

As far as the group that unintentionally inspired the phrase, Swift Boat Veterans fo Truth--I think they told the truth about John Kerry in 2004.
