The smear continues
By Steve Bainbridge on Current Affairs

The next step in Big Media's anti-Bush smear campaign will be the long-anticipated 60 Minutes interview with Texas Democrat Ben Barnes:

Ben Barnes, a Democrat and the lieutenant governor of Texas in 1968, will explain his role in securing for the 22-year-old Yale graduate Bush a coveted place in the state's Air National Guard - a unit so full of the sons of Texas's rich and powerful that it was known as the "Champagne Unit".
The problem with this story is quite simple, however:

Barnes himself has acknowledged he received no direct approach from the Bush family to have George W admitted in the Texas National Guard.
