Another Point re Josh Marshall

Today, he talks about how one of the primary reasons the Bush military issue hasn't gone away is that those around this administration keep lying about it.

Yesterday, it was laughable to see Saxby ("trick knee") Chambliss sent out to try to make points against John Kerry re: military service. In other words, they couldn't get John McCain, who actually served, to do this, so they sent our another man who strongly appealed attempts to draft him into service during Vietnam.

Today, Mark Racichot - in tight with this administration and the RNC since the 2000 Election debacle - actually said to NPR that Bush volunteered to go to service in Vietnam. Bush actually said quite the opposite on Meet the Press. Why? Because it was a "political war", he said. Unlike his, of course.

Did the NPR interviewer challenge him? Of course not.

In fact, for the last several days, all the talk about Bush's military service seems to come from the GOP trying to make it into something it was not. This defies all logic.
