Bush has also been criticized for deserting the Guard before his enlistment was complete, but the evidence shows he was honorably discharged eight months early because his position was being phased out...

UNLIKE kerry's enlistment was cut short by three (questionable) Purple Hearts so he could come back and protest the war.

Perlstein lost what remaining credibility he had with me when he announced that Berger had been "exonerated," when in fact what's really occurred is that Gorelick et. al. of the 911 Commission have said that Berger did not fail to turn over any documents to the commission.

That's the "impeached former president and his lawyer spouse"speak. Odds are Berger wasn't personally responsible for handing them any documents. (Thus, he didn't fail to hand them over. It all depends on what the meaning of *is* is.) ... That spin didn't address the documents the Archives were unable to turn over (because of Berger's actions) or that there is still an ongoing Archives investigation of Berger. Hardly an exoneration!

I also noticed that Perstein repeated the mantra that the impeached "former president" was never convicted of any felony. (Oh, really!? And he forfeited over his Arkansas license to practice law because he didn't want to have to continue to pay the pesky renewal fee or what?)

The list of other "facts" he distorted are too long to list. As are the number of questions he failed to answer directly.
