Bush looked cute in his National Guard apparel, seems to have swung the women's vote his way according to some polls. Well not where I work. These are tough left wing show biz bitches who think "he looks like a fucking fag," their view of him in a fighter jet looking down at the controls is viewed: "he's trying to find his midget cock" and so on. I think the cute part must be the views of the teeny bopper set, certainly not those of actual voters. Check Andrew Sullivan to see if the gay vote is swinging Bush's way.

BTW the "even if it's a forgery the charges are what are important" crowd is presenting us with a dangerous precedent. Following their "logic" any forgery must be taken seriously. When did you stop beating your wife? becomes an honest question. The Bush campaign has played the Air National Guard card quite well because they have kept lots of Air National Guard records to themselves in order to release them when they chose, the one released yesterday seeming to prove that he didn't get sneaked into the Guard.

One point regarding "preferential treatment." His old man was a sitting congressman at the time. Young Bush, like the young Al Gore, would never be allowed in a combat situation where either could be captured. Gore got very close to the front lines but you can bet that they would never allow him too close no matter how brave he was. FDR's son was prevented from combat even though he begged to be allowed to fight. Like it or not, politically vulnerable men and women are not going to be exposed to capture.

And back in LA, the LA Times is back to their slanted news presentation. Every day their lead front page story concerns the latest body count from Iraq.
