Texan 'Ashamed' on Bush Role
The New York Times

August 28, 2004

By THE NEW YORK TIMES

HOUSTON, Aug. 27 - Ben Barnes, a former speaker
of the Texas House who has said
he got George W. Bush into the National
Guard in 1968, told an audience
of John Kerry supporters in Austin
on May 27 that he was ashamed of his role.

"I walked through the Vietnam Memorial
the other day," Mr. Barnes said, according
to a videoclip posted on the Internet
this summer, "and I looked at the names
of people who died in Vietnam and
I became more ashamed of myself than
I've ever been because the worst thing
I did was get a lot of wealthy supporters
and a lot of people who had family names
of importance into the Guard and
I'm very sorry about that and
I apologize to you and the voters of Texas."

A 45-second video of his remarks,
which were not reported at the time,
was posted June 25 on a Web site,
Austin4Kerry.com, that crashed on
Friday from overuse after Jim Moore,
an Austin author of books on Mr. Bush,
sent out e-mail messages calling attention
to it. The video was then shifted to another site: 69.59.167.160/.

Mr. Barnes, a Democrat, did not return
calls for comment.
President Bush is on record
as denying that family influence
got him into the Guard.
