WaPo Columnist Drops Golden 'Turd' of Righteous Truth Directly on Bush's Head, Where It Really Has No Choice But to Stick
In case anyone missed this absolute zinger yesterday:
And the Times doesn't do so bad, either. As speakingcorpse notes:
It appears that an Al Qaeda cell operating out of Brooklyn has broken into the New York Times offices, taken the editorial board hostage, and forced Gail Collins or one of her subordinates to write this seditious bit of "gutter politics" (to use the words of Scott McClellan).

From Guardsman . . .Full, utterly damning story.
By Richard Cohen
During the Vietnam War, I was what filmmaker Michael Moore would call a "deserter." Along with President Bush and countless other young men, I joined the National Guard, did my six months of active duty (basic training, etc.) and then returned to my home unit, where I eventually dropped from sight. In the end, just like President Bush, I got an honorable discharge. But unlike President Bush, I have just told the truth about my service. He hasn't.

If President Bush thought that his release of selected payroll and service records would quell the growing controversy over whether he ducked some of his required service in the Air National Guard three decades ago, he is clearly mistaken. The payroll records released yesterday document that he performed no guard duties at all for more than half a year in 1972 and raise questions about how he could be credited with at least 14 days of duty during subsequent periods when his superior officers in two units said they had not seen him.What next?
