A very interesting read but I don't know that those who are polarized for Bush will pay much attention. The crap that the Swift Boat Veterans pulled on Kerry had its effect but for some reason Bush has been able to remain teflon coated when it comes to his National Guard issues. This interview, plus the upcoming "60 Minutes" interview on Wednesday with the former Lt. Governor of Texas that admits he pulled strings to get Dubya in the Guard will probably just work to make more anti-Bush people to actually vote. If it works, great. [ If this thing gets grabbed by the wider media, and by kerry, i think it'll negate the convention bounce. If they get the chance to paint Bush as a hypocrite on matters of honor and service, backed by the words of someone who helped him exploit his background, i think it might finally stick. But maybe i'm just too optimistic. -k] George W. Bush's missing year |
