Ten,

re: Why is the "mainstream media" acting like this has already been proven beyond a reasonable doubt?

That wasn't the mainstream media, and I don't think the mainstream media is acting like it is proven beyond a reasonable doubt. They are acting like it is mighty suspicious that nobody remembers a person from a very prominent family being around, for a year. In a court of law the burden of proof wouldn't be on Bush, but in the court of politics it would certainly be helpful if he could produce a witness. His press secretary said they would if they could; they can't.

To me it's not that big an issue. He was avoiding Vietnam, which a whole bunch of folks were doing at the same time. He had the pull to get out of doing the National Guard stuff, and I'm sure there were 1000's more like him. The only reason it's an issue is the contrast with Kerry.

But it is sort of obnoxous when he does his John Wayne war President immitation stuff.
