Correspondent Dan Rather talks exclusively to former Texas House Speaker and Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes, a Democrat, about the role Barnes says he played in getting President George W. Bush into the Texas Air National Guard -- and why he now regrets it.
Missing in Action
President Bush claims that in the fall of 1972, he fulfilled his Air National Guard duties at a base in Alabama. But Bob Mintz was there - and he is sure Mr. Bush wasn't.
"I'm sure I would have seen him," Mr. Mintz said yesterday. "It's a small unit, and you couldn't go in or out without being seen. It was too close a space." There were only 25 to 30 pilots there, and Mr. Bush - a U.N. ambassador's son who had dated Tricia Nixon - would have been particularly memorable.

Talking Points Memo
Where would we be without Alan Keyes?
According to this new report, Keyes now says that Barack Obama is a "socialist" and a "liar". He accuses Obama of using anti-black racist code words. And he claims that if Jesus were still walking the earth today in the flesh and eligible to vote in the Illinois Senate election, that he would definitely not vote for Barack Obama.
So much for secret ballots!

Some snippets from the text of a letter former President Carter sent to Zell Miller over the weekend
Great Georgia Democrats who served in the past, including Walter George, Richard Russell, Herman Talmadge, and Sam Nunn disagreed strongly with the policies of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and me, but they remained loyal to the party in which they gained their public office. Other Democrats, because of philosophical differences or the race issue, like Bo Callaway and Strom Thurmond, at least had the decency to become Republicans.
Perhaps more troublesome of all is seeing you adopt an established and very effective Republican campaign technique of destroying the character of opponents by wild and false allegations.
The full text of the letter is here.

The stink of deceit and lies is also being uncovered by the FBI in its investigation of Bush Administration appointees giving away classified information.

That penatgon thing is really nuts? Quite nice, but nuts, and very disturbing: absent immeidiately accessible refutation, this stuff looks real. At least as good as anything I base "reality" on, which can only mean, I have none, and it may be there is none.
As to Bush: his records HAVE been found, and he was NOT ar the Air National Guard Base. Period. Done deal.
And you know, I really don't care: If a guy has a gun to your head, and has already shot you a few times in various places, what kind of satisfaction does it give you to know he cheated on a High School exam? What, do we actually have to study the record when the man is here, right now?
Take the gun away, treat the gunshot wound.
It is very very strange: people don't care.
Are the Bush documents real? The font issue is enough to debase any doubt harbored by the Bush worshipers.
