Press Briefing by Scott McClellan on the Miserable Failure's military (ahem) service. I wasn't convinced. Why doesn't he just come clean and say "I wanted to avoid being sent to Viet Nam and daddy helped me" or whatever the truth is. Richard Cohen served in the Reserves like him put is better:
'I have no shame about my service, but I know it for what it was -- hardly the Charge of the Light Brigade. When Bush attempts to drape the flag of today's Guard over the one he was in so long ago, when he warns his critics to remember that "there are a lot of really fine people who have served in the National Guard and who are serving in the National Guard today in Iraq," then he is doing now what he was doing then: hiding behind the ones who were really doing the fighting. It's about time he grew up.'
