Buh Buh But Bush received an honorable discharge!
www.hughhewitt.com
Came across the following rant by Radio Host and WorldNetDaily columnist Hugh Hewitt on his blog (scroll down a bit). This just shows how much work is left to do hammerign this story home.

An honorable discharge is complete proof of honorable service, a presumption of duty discharged, and absent a credible, detailed raft of evidence that the honorable discharge ought not to have been granted, the hacks of the left should spend their time with John Kerry's savaging of the reputations of the men he served alongside in Vietnam.......
This is where legal training comes in to fill the gaps that punditry often celebrates. There is no such thing as proving a negative, and no need for a presumptively innocent man to "prove" anything. But given that Bush's critics are to a person defenders of Bill Clinton, it is risible that they raise this issue having defended the real deal when it came to draft dodging. Evidently conning the draft board doesn't bother them, but a lack of a paper trail proving to their satisfaction that a pilot flew all his hours does get under their skin.

To every question on this issue, Republicans ought to respond: President Bush was honorably discharged.


Of course see salon.com today for a great story on Bush's "honorable discharge".
