Catherine-

To the extent that I’ve been thinking along your lines, I’ve been worried that the reason the Dems are pursuing the issue is that there’s worse TK.

Do realize how many times you have said this over the past 6 months? You’re a worrywart. There’s nothing to worry about because there is no ‘there’ there. Look at the Bush campaign, look at Karl Rove…they’re just hummin’ right along without even batting an eye over any of this.

People keep asking why Bush isn’t worried about everyone prying into his service record and his private life…could it be that they know that everything that could be out there is out there?

Let’s not overlook the obvious.

But I don’t follow–exactly–how hammering away at Bush & his National Guard service does what you’re saying they hope it will do.

I don’t think it will do what they hope it will, either. But under my scenario, it explains why they are doing it and why it is rational to do it. The bottom line is that the Dems do not have an effective counter to the book…but they have to try something.

Did you know that a black leather halter top and a bullwhip can be a very effective substitute for pajamas on the right female of the species?
