Since there was zippo chance that this crap would not be investigated and debunked, and zippo chance that it would sway any Bernie supporters to the Hillary camp, I wonder what the intent is? To leave easily linked to breadcrumbs for non-DUers?
And remember, we have all clutched that "Don't be a fucking purist!!!" stuff to our bosoms. Good job, that!
I would think that if Hillary was to bring up these very things in a debate, Bernie would easily explain why he voted against them. And her War in Iraq vote would, of course, be mentioned. But a good thing is that this is a fine heads up about what kind of swift-boating is in store.
And if Bernie was to drop out, I would be supporting O'Malley. For president, not for HRC's VP.
