Is someone that seems even potentially trustworthy saying that SBVT's ad 
campaign was accurate?  I haven't heard that.

I think you are being gullible here.  To be a Bush supporter (but not a 
multi-millionaire or wealthier), you'd have to be pretty gullible at this 
point.  On the other hand, it isn't generalized gullibility because you 
are probably astonishingly good at finding the slightest reason to reject 
any claim that doesn't support your view of Bush (that he is a great 
misunderstood genius).
