So it has come to this - a choice of scandals
(Filed at the London Telegraph: 15/02/2004)


There are two "scandals" in American politics at the moment: the first features George W Bush and whether he was a "deserter", as Michael Moore, Hollywood's celebrated Leftie lardbutt, puts it. This goes back three decades to when Mr Bush was a young pilot in the Texas Air National Guard, the so-called "weekend warriors". By desertion, Moore and co mean that there were a lot of weekends when the warrior didn't show up. Terry McAuliffe, the highest-ranking official of the Democratic Party, prefers the term "Awol". He doesn't offer any evidence to support the accusation.

OK - FIRST LIE - NO EVIDENCE WHEN THERE IS PLENTY OF EVIDENCE IN THE FORM OF OFFICIAL PAPER NOT SHOWING ATTENDANCE

THEN IT GOES INTO FONDA/KERRY (WHAT FONDA KERRY?) WHILE BUSH BRAVELY FLYS

THEN IT IS NOT FAIR TO GIVE CLINTON A DRAFT DODGING PASS (WHAT CLINTON DRAFT DODGE - HE HAD A HIGH NUMBER!)AND NOT GIVE BUSH A PASS

"..in 2004 "it's the national security, stupid. We want a President who can really be Commander-in-Chief". And the fact that Bush, as Commander-in-Chief, has liberated two countries, overthrown the Taliban and slung Saddam in jail counts for less than whether he bunked off for the weekend in 1972." FOLLOWED BY MORE LIES AS TO THE BASIS FOR AWOL


THEN THE RIGHT WING "FACTS" ON KERRY: "..her dad, who's called Kerry a "sleazeball".(WELL TERRY AND DONNA POLIER OF MALVERN PA DID NOY SAY THEY KNEW OF ANY KERRY SEX - OR EVEN ATTEMPT AT SEX - IT WAS ONLY "I think he's a sleazeball. I did wonder if she didn't get that feeling herself ...John Kerry called my daughter and invited her to be on his re-election committee (THIS IS REPHRASED BY THE IDIOT DRUDGE INTO "did pursue their daughter"!!!). She talked to him and decided against it." COMMENT BY TERRY POLIER- AND NOTHING ELSE.


THEN THE RIGHT WING TELEGRAPH SAYS (LOL) "I don't want this election fought as the Adulterer vs the Deserter. The "politics of personal destruction" is insufficient to the times, and an insult to the entirely non-metaphorical personal destruction of thousands of Americans that took place on September 11. But the Democrats don't have any ideas on that score - Sen Kerry offers the usual lazy platitudes about working through the UN. So he's running on "character" instead: he was in the jungle, Bush wasn't. True. All Bush did was learn to fly an F-102, which is one serious plane."

"Kerry narrative is almost impenetrable. If Vietnam bitterly divided a nation, split communities, tore apart families, etc, etc, Sen Kerry somehow managed to wind up on both sides of the fence: in the 1960s, he was John Wayne taking out the gooks in 'Nam; in the 1970s, he was Hanoi Jane Fonda, leading the protest movement; now, after two decades in Congress opposing every new weapons system for America's military, he's campaigning like Bob Hope on a USO tour flanked by wall-to-wall veterans. What story accounts for Senator Flip-Flop these past 40 years?

If character is the issue, Bush can relax. And, if doing your bit for national security is the issue, then John Kerry's been Awol for two decades."
