Ohio "swing" State Editorial

[JoseCuervo]

The memos on Dubya's behaviour in the Guard (or lack of) appear to have been able to neutralize all the lies spread by the GOP/Swifties, at least in the swing states....

Now could they get on to debating how the Economy will be fixed from the mess it is in, how we can get out of the Quagmire that is Iraq, and how we can proceed to win the "War on Terror"?

Bush's past is catching up

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's not entirely fresh information that President Bush skipped a 1972 medical exam needed if he was to keep flying fighter jets for the Texas Air National Guard, but CBS' "60 Minutes" has turned the heat up on this skillet.
The White House had previously acknowledged that Bush had his flight credentials stripped because of failure to take the exam. What's new in the documents CBS has obtained is information that he had a direct order to show up -- and just plain did not.

Other documents make it sound as if there were efforts from on high to have Bush's superiors do unearned favors for the young man.

None of this reflects well on Bush, and those opposed to his re-election say the evidence is mounting about his character flaws.

It doesn't help Bush's re-election effort that his Democratic opponent in the presidential election actually saw combat in Vietnam.

Those supporting Bush are bristling as if it's just politics at work here. They argue that he did after all serve and that what's important is the leadership of the Bush who now sits in the Oval Office.

One can credibly enough argue that the Bush of today is a far more disciplined, responsible soul than the Bush of yesterday. But there is another truth with which he is condemned to live: No matter how deeply people try to bury them, former selves have a habit of rising into view again, determined to play havoc with reputations.

Kerry got in trouble for trying to have it both ways with Vietnam: war hero and protester. Bush is in trouble for ducking his duties. Having established that, let's get on with the campaign.

Current issues like who forged these "documents", and when is CBS going to issue a public appolagy ?

If the "typset" used in the papers to discredit Dubya were common or even available at the time[70`s] why aren`t there hundreds or even thousands of other documents with the same "typset" ?

An editorial? comming from a guy that challenges every source that disagrees with his convoluted beliefs. Too good to be true.
