Dems are getting a new ad up attacking a claim that Bush made when he ran for Congress years and years ago that he was in the Air Force.

DNC TO LAUNCH FRESH ATTACK ON BUSH GUARD DUTY: WILL RAISE QUESTIONS ABOUT 1978 CAMPAIGN LIT

**Exclusive**

Faster than a CBS eye can blink, dogged Dems are set to take to the airwaves anew hoping to keep questions about President Bush's National Guard duty in play, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"George W. Bush's campaign literature claimed that he 'served in the U.S. Air Force.' The only problem? He didn't," slams a new DNC press release set for distribution.

"George Bush has a clear pattern of lying about his military service," DNC Communications Director Jano Cabrera blasts in the new release. "From 1978 to the present day, George Bush has refused to tell voters the truth about his service. It's time for the President to come clean."

"Flyers distributed to Texas voters during Bush's failed Congressional race say 'he served in the U.S. Air Force and the Texas Air National Guard.' But according to Air Force officials, Air National Guardsmen are not counted as members of the active-duty Air Force."

Wow. Weak attack, but accurate. Or is it?

Bush was on active duty in the Air Force Reserves, albeit only for 120 days. But it was active duty nonetheless. So, technically, G. Bush was in the US Air Force.

I got a kick out of that new ad. Talk about petty.

My sources tell me that CBS News will be airing a story this Wednesday night on 60 Minutes II. Apparently, they have come into possession of yet ANOTHER memo written by Colonel Killian. This one talks about how Bush told him in 1978 that he was going to try and mislead the public by claiming to have served in BOTH the Air Force and the Air National Guard. The title of the memo, as I understand it, is "CYA, Part 2".

Or somesuch.

Seems that the democrats are willing to say just about anything to get Kerry elected.

Considering the Florida 2000 fiasco that's saying a hell of a lot. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
