No Bang for Dan

The Rather National Guard story, however you look at it, is unimpressive.

Jonah Goldberg points out what the frothing at the mouth left seems not to notice; namely that no one in fly-over-country really cares all that much about what President Bush did in the Air National Guard. President Bush isn't running on his record of thirty years ago, unlike the orange colored French looking candidate who by the way served in Vietnam. No, President Bush is running on his more recent record of the last three years in the White House. Whether Bush wins or not will be based on what Americans think of the events of the last three years and how the President has responded, or in some cases not responded, to those events. John "war criminal" Kerry, on the other hand, does not even seem to be operating in this century, but rather in some far off 60's fantasy vision which has all the relevance of a painted psychedelic schoolbus on its way to Woodstock.
