This guy's a lawyer and he doesn't see the conflict of interest? Was he asleep in that part of ethics class or something? However, I think Mary Beth Cahill might be a little overboard with some of this:

People deeply involved in his own campaign are behind them, from paying for them, to appearing in them, to providing legal advice, to coordinating a negative strategy to divert the public away from issues like jobs, health care and the mess in Iraq, the real concerns of the American people. It's time for George Bush to take responsibility himself and condemn these false attacks

Not that I completely disagree with any of that, I'm just not sure that this proves anything.
