I get it. The Left has no trouble throwing its weight behind draft-dodgers like Clinton and Dean. But it doesn't hesitate to latch on to a flimsy claim of Bush being AWOL in 1972-73 from his National Air Guard assignment, pointing to it as evidence that Bush is somehow less dedicated to this country than the abovementioned.
And they even made these claims without a full reckoning of the facts. Apparently they assumed that if the official records were ever made public, they'd prove Bush was a deserter, just like Michael Moore says. They've been building up the story for so long now that it's become almost conventional wisdom.
Well, now the records are public, and they're all squeaky-clean.
What was that people have been saying about the importance of a good poker face? I think Bush was just biding his time, letting these guys overplay their hand so far that when the time came to call, he'd leave with all their pants.
When the arguments are as ludicrous as the ones the Left has been using, demolishing them over the next several months is going to be child's play.
