SHARON THEIMER, Associated Press Writer
(08-25) 08:52 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) –

An election lawyer for President Bush who also has been advising a veterans group running TV ads against Democrat John Kerry resigned Wednesday from Bush's campaign.

"I cannot begin to express my sadness that my legal representations have become a distraction from the critical issues at hand in this election," Benjamin Ginsberg wrote in a resignation letter to Bush released by the campaign.

"I feel I cannot let that continue, so I have decided to resign as national counsel to your campaign to ensure that the giving of legal advice to decorated military veterans, which was entirely within the boundaries of the law, doesn't distract from the real issues upon which you and the country should be focusing."

Ginsberg's acknowledgment Tuesday evening that he was providing legal advice to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth marked the second time in days that a person associated with the Bush-Cheney campaign had been connected to the group, which Kerry accuses of being a front for the Republican incumbent's re-election effort.

The Bush campaign and the veterans' group have said repeatedly that there is no coordination.

1. A distraction from the critical issues at hand!?!

Repugs start it and now that it's blowing up in their face, it's a "distraction".

BWAH-HAHA!

3. Broke the law - the common vendor rule - will Ashcroft go after him?

or Bush or the Bush campaign?

I am not holding my breath waiting for Ashcroft to enforce laws that are broken by the GOP.

4. More than a Distraction-Bush Will Lose the Election Over This

You watch and see!!!!!!

There is a massive amount more going on here than the public understands. Our group, with licensed private investigators and a Houston criminal attorney, that knows John O'Neill, have been on the case full-blown for a month now.

You're just seeing the tip of the iceberg on this massive Bush-Cheney-GOP-SBVT fraud!

5. Arrogance or stingy?

They either think they can get away with anything (because we're so stupid?) - or -

they're too cheap to hire a different lawyer.

What's the tally of illegal connections?
