Hey fellas, if you want to poop all over the notion of patriotic service to one’s country, that’s your choice; but now your own abasement deprives you of any moral ballast for your own politics.

Me, I don't worry about this none, for not only have we seen these types of nut jobs before (i.e., there is nothing new under the sun), but remember too that the race is not to the swift.

This seems to be exactly what Novak is referring to. All "defences" of the Kerry record thus far have been ad hominem attacks. I hope that this stuff isn't true, and would like to see the defense made. This isn't just one yokul making the charges, it is over 200 former swiftees.
And for the record, the folks at Fox News do not believe there is a story here.
