An indictment of Bush, or Barnes?
We've all surely heard of Texas Democrat Ben Barnes, who is selling himself out for John Kerry, and taking many others along for the ride: Barnes has told friends that he intervened with Rose to help a number of other prominent, young Texans into the National Guard. In addition to Bush, who was accepted for pilot training in May 1968, other recruits to the Texas National Guard during the late 1960s included the son of former Texas senator Lloyd M. Bentsen (D) and members of the Dallas Cowboys football team. Despite no memory of Bush family involvement and no evidence, Barnes just knows they were behind it. The only man who could clear things up is dead, but for what it's worth Lloyd Bentsen III calls it all hogwash. But in the end, who's the bad guy here? The young Bush or Barnes, a double-dipping political opportunist? In the Democratic Party faith confession means pointing fingers, and not only does it absolve one of private sins, but brings the wrath of god upon the rest. posted by Dennis on 09.04.04 at 08:36 PM |

If you ask me, five years flying jets in the Texas Air National Guard was much more dangerous than a shorter time in the Navy during 'Nam. And at the time Kerry joined them out of boredom, the swift boats had not yet started the dangerous missions, I don't believe. It was going to be fun in a small boat, just like Long Island Sound. It soon got hairy, and John-john was trapped. Never at a loss, however, our schemer soon had himself three purple hearts without spending a day in the hospital, and then it was ByeBye Nam, Hello Boston machine! Fortunately we can say he is now toast, and the Swiftvets deserve the encomium: Never have so many owed so much to so few!
