Bush attorney resigns

Benjamin Ginsberg, President Bush's election lawyer and one of his attorneys during the 2000 Florida recount, resigned from the presidential campaign after he disclosed he gave legal advice to the group "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" running attack ads against Senator John Kerry, the N.Y. Times reports. Ginsberg's acknowledgment marks the second time in days that an individual associated with the Bush-Cheney campaign has been connected to the group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which Kerry accuses of being a front for the Republican incumbent's re-election effort. As posted earlier: the NYT has an excellent graphic about the extended connections between this group and the Bush people.
