"60 Minutes" won't utter the word, "swift," but they are running an interview with that proven liar, Barnes. Even I didn't think they would stoop this low.

Salon: '60 Minutes' to Feature Man Questioning Bush Service.

Over at Salon, Eric Boehlert reports that CBS has already taped an interview with Ben Barnes, a former Texas Democratic politician who currently is a fund-raiser for Democrat John Kerry, who says he helped George W. Bush evade the Vietnam draft during 1970s by getting him into the national guard.

Update 21:03, SBVT spokesman John O'Neill confirms CBS has not contacted his group since last week.
