Mara Liasson (who is not known for being a coservative) and the rest of the panel on Brit Hume's "Special Report" just said, a few minutes ago, this whole National Guard thing is 4 years too late. The Dims should have made it a bigger deal in 2000 and didn't. It's a dead issue.
You're right, Bush's National Guard service is a dead issue for the Democrats, but the fact that Kerry is still talking about Vietnam keeps Kerry's service is the news and the fact that they are ressurecting this story through this disreputable partisan also shows what poor choices Kerry would make if he was elected. It does our side good to point up the background of this man as well as the fact that this is all that the Kerry campaign has to run on.
