SPORTSbyBROOKS » Swiftboat PR Firm Repping James Against Leach
Yesterday Craig James announced that he is considering a run for the U.S. Senate in Texas if Kay Bailey Hutchinson vacates her Senate seat to take over as Governor of Texas. Assisting James in the release of the news was a Dallas company called Spaeth Communications.

(Did Leach get ’swiftboated’ by same firm that attacked Kerry?)

I’ve recently learned that Spaeth was also responsible for the release of the cellphone video Adam James took of himself in an attempt to damage the credibility of former Texas Tech Coach Mike Leach.

(Did Spaeth tell Adam James to record video after the fact?)

If you’re a political junkie, Spaeth Communications might ring a bell. More likely, you’ve heard the term “swiftboating,” which is derived from a p.r. campaign led by Spaeth CEO Merrie Spaeth to damage the 2004 presidential candidacy of John Kerry...

BTW Mike Leach attended the über conservative http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepperdine_University_School_of_Law

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Leach_(coach)

So my guess would be that Mike Leach and the James Gang deserve each other. :evilgrin:
