Wow. The LA effing Times My thoughts exactly! WOWSERS!

"...waist deep in the Big Muddy and the big fool says to push on..."

I haven't read the rest of the thread yet but I'd wager you and I are probably the only two here who remember the Pete Seger song...sigh.

This isn't exactly a Pete Seger fan site.

But Democrats insisted that they had plenty of evidence to continue their campaign to show that Bush got breaks that other young men did not during the Vietnam War.

What amuses me is that they think this is newsworthy.

Al Gore - son of a wealthy Tennessee Senator - got a cushy job as a Stars & Stripes journalist, and a bodyguard.

Kerry got reassigned as an admiral's aide after spending only four and a half months out of a one-year tour of duty in Vietnam.

I think you'd be hard-pressed to find any son of privelege and higher education who didn't get at least one break during Vietnam, among those who didn't avoid service entirely, such as Bill Clinton.
