OK, let's suppose that is true (it isn't, but let's say it is). Then
that absolutely proves that Bush (and his campaign) absolutely can't be
behind the lies. But moreover, whether lies or truth, it acknowledges
that they've been saying these things for 30-plus years, which proves
Bush and his campaign aren't behind any of the assertions.

O'Neill was recruited by the Nixon Whitehouse and placed in the
employ of Charles "Dirty Tricks" Colson in the '70's. The Bush
campaign had nothing to do with it. The lies are 30 years old,
and have been disproved several times over the years. First by
then Secretary of the Navy John Warner (a Republican) and later
by The Boston Globe during Kerry's Senate campaigns.

However, the money to broadcast those same old, long since
disproved lies over and over again in West Virginia, Ohio and
Pennsylvania came from the Bush campaign, or its functional
equivalent. The New York Times did a good job of connecting
all those sleazy, little Republican dots.
