The New York Post (hat tip: Polipundit) cites Chris Heinz, as quoted in Philadelphia Magazine:

"Heinz accused Kerry's opponents — 'our enemies' — of making the race dirty. 'We didn't start out with negative ads calling George Bush a cokehead,' he said, before adding, 'I'll do it now.' Asked later about it, Heinz said, 'I have no evidence. He never sold me anything.'" Heinz also reminded writer Sasha Issenberg of Pat Buchanan by saying, "One of the things I've noticed is the Israel lobby — the treatment of Israel as the 51st state, sort of a swing state."

Charming.

The acord doesn't fall very far from the tress.
