I suppose we should address this, since it's all the rage.

Mr. Kerry and his acolytes in the press finally did the expected thing by bringing up President Bush's National Guard service yet again. Now it turns out the documents dredged up to great fanfare by CBS (from the "secret files" of one of Mr. Bush's now-dead commanders, the story goes) may well be fake. Newsweek editor Evan Thomas already confessed on Inside Washington that most of the media is rooting for Kerry, but this is a little too obvious.

To me, the real story is: What took Kerry et. al. so long? Remember the lightspeed responses by Clinton's famous "War Room?" This campaign's response-time is as lackluster as their candidate's speaking style!

The whinning about Mr. Bush's service was well-answered, point by point, in this article by William Campenni, a retired Colonel who was in the Air National Guard when the President was.
