My gut tells me that Rove has screwed up this time. By putting Bush in a flight suit, he has unintentionally provided an opening for the AWOL story to be revisited: mediawhoresonline.com BURYING TURNIPSEED: Ironically, everyone knows who wrote the key piece about Bush and the National Guard. “The Boston Globe did a major, major, exhaustive study,” George Stephanopoulos said on last Friday’s Washington Journal—and Stephanopoulos noted that Walter Robinson had been the reporter in question (see THE DAILY HOWLER, 5/5/03). On last Thursday’s Countdown, Chris Matthews knew who had done the piece too. “I think Robbie Robinson dug that story up,” he said, referring to the piece as “great reporting.” Meanwhile, in the question that led to Matthews’ comment, host Keith Olbermann had IDed the Globe as the rag where the seminal piece first appeared. Weird, ain’t it? Everyone knew where the story appeared—but no one seemed able to say what was in it! In this way, pundits continued a three-year tradition, hiding that Bush “missing year.” Bush's favorable treatment (a slot in the ANG even though he performed abysmally on his tests) followed by his desertion is finally going to be an issue, ironically because Karl Rove has made it one.
