Dateline: Fairfield Inn Airport, Greensboro, NC.

Just finsihed my ten-hour drive to drill and spent most of the time listening to the news. Sirius Radio is the best thing for long trips! Mainly what I heard was lots and lots of scrambling and whining by Kerry supporters. I am always amazed at how liberals seldom address a question head-on.

At issue today was Bush’s war record. First, the questions being asked by the Kerry mob show, if nothing else, that they have little idea of how the National Guard (Army or Air) or Reserves work. Perhaps it is because Kerry was a member of the Naval Reserve who was placed on active duty during Viet Nam and when he returned he set about endangering our Soldiers and Sailors with his talk rather than drilling. Anyway, it seems that the documents Dan Rather aired on CBS may not be authentic. Of course Rather claims they are and he is never wrong. I for one would feel much more comfortable if they called in CNN an Peter Arnett to review them. With CNN’s OPERATION TAILWIND bogosity a few years ago, surely they are better at spotting problems now.

During my drive I heard interviews with both Bush an dKerry supporters and I noticed a drastic difference in the two. Kerry supporters did not stay on topic, Bush supporters did. Bush supporters were calm and talked at a reasonable level allowing the opposition time to talk, Kerry supporters were yelling, talking in loud, high-pitched voices, and kept interrupting. My favorite ploy was to say that this was not about the voracity of the CBS documents but about what Bush did or didn’t do. One Kerry guy actually said even if the CBS documents were fake it didn’t matter because there were many other documents out there. Now let me get this straight, there are so many documents proving Bush failed to do his duty, someone may well have had to create one? I don’t get it. If there were so many documents out there, then why not use a real document.

I’m kind of enjoying it anyway. First Dan Rather is on the hot seat and perhaps this will push the guy into retirement. I long ago lost any confidence in CBS News and 60 Minutes became such a farce that I quit watching it years ago.
