[59millionmorons]

CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - A Vietnam veteran who worked with President Bush's campaign has left over his appearance in a commercial by a group challenging Democratic candidate John Kerry's war record, a campaign spokesman said on Saturday.

Bush campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt said Ken Cordier was a Bush supporter during the 2000 election and served as a member of his a steering committee to help reach out to veterans during this election.

"Col. Cordier did not inform the campaign of his involvement in the advertisement being run by (Swift Boat Veterans for Truth)," Schmidt said. "Because of his involvement with this 527 (group), Col. Cordier will no longer participate" in the steering committee.

The disclosure of Cordier's involvement came one day after White House spokesman Scott McClellan and Bush campaign chairman Marc Racicot denied the campaign coordinated with the group on the ads, which claim that Kerry lied about his Vietnam War service.

2. Typical. Let the lower-ranking person take the fall.

Deny any knowledge or involvement by higher-ups. Hmm.... where have we seen this tactic before during the last (almost) four years???

3. Col. Cordier Saw No Need To Inform The Campaign

Since it had directed him to become involved with the group, and so he assumed the campaign already knew of it....

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"
