... BS like that.

Facts are stubborn things - Bush's Harken Energy fraud has apparently passed the statute of limitations. Desertion from his national guard post has no such limitation.

Profiteering his own future stake in the Carlyle Group on the Iraq war was a hanging offense in the Civil War, perhaps its only jail time these days.

OTOH, blaming sailors for his own lies is just failure of leadership, acceptable to some who will accept anything, apparently:

"I think it is outrageous. He blamed the sailors for that and it is something -- an event -- that his advance team staged. I guess that next thing we are going to hear is that the sailors told him to wear the flight suit and prance around on the aircraft carrier. This is a president who does not want to take accountability," said Clark.

"Jobs, public service, health care, taking care of each other -- this is the new American patriotism," said Clark.

But it's an election year. Makes you wonder what a general like Clark would do if he weren't running. Many others are letting this kind of misbehavior just fester.
