Daily Kos - Bush was still AWOL

The wingnuts are crowing about the CBS memo issue, as though they've somehow proven something.
They may have proven the memos were reconstructions or forgeries or whatever. But fact is, they haven't touched the underlying assertion -- that Bush was AWOL and didn't fulfill his duty to his nation, not when he was in Alabama, and not when he went to Massachussets for business school.

When the wingnuts prove Bush fulfilled his duties, then I'll pay attention. As it stands, the overwhelming mountains of evidence against Bush's National Guard service may have gotten a few memos lighter.

Big deal.

Caught the tail end of Kerry's speech just now. I thought he did fine, even though I don't agree with him. I gauge the effectiveness of his speeches by whether they raise my blood pressure. It did.

It will be interesting to see him and Bush debate. I honestly don't think Bush has any advantage at all as a debater. He has that tendency to get tangled up and step on his tongue.

Kerry does waffle and parse and flex in the wind but is more articulate.
