Pretty soon his website will have nothing but KIDS, GET OFF MY LAWN scrolling across a black, black screen of fail.

Bush could've volunteered to go to Vietnam knowing for certain that he would be turned down, therefore fronting an appearance o dutiful and brave sacrifice while in reality risking nothing. But on the other hand, I'm not sure he's smart enough to have figured that move out.

Rather screwed up for some reason- I have no idea why...but the evidence against Bush's National Guard record was sitting right on the internet at the Boston Globe website. I can't believe Rather never heard about these docs. But that's besides the point. This guy Goldberg conveniently attacks Rather and Mapes, while Moonves is facing a $70 million lawsuit on Rather's termination.
Why do we even listen to these idiots?

I doubt that CBS did the forgery. It was given forgeries that were probably made from real documents.
The question to ask is did the forger deliberately use some superscript font to later"catch" CBS or did the forger just do it without that knowledge & CBS still fell for it.
And I still think Karl Rove will be found out as behind it.

But- I was interpreting the point (the video wouldn't play for me so...) Gawker made on this being-Bush wanted to go to Vietnam.
I suppose then, we are to believe that Bush broke all the rules so that he might have the opportunity to go to war in Vietnam.
I know Bush isn't the brightest, but someone could have explained that all he had to do was enlist for a tour of duty. If he wanted to fly while in service, then he might have a problem, because he conveniently went missing many times for those training hours.
Bush was to have signed in with the Guard when he arrived at Harvard. He didn't. Most normal recruits would have been sent off to Vietnam at that point.
Something prevented Bush doing a tour in Vietnam and it wasn't the fact that he didn't have enough flight training.
I was pretty pissed that Rather ignored this information. It is bad journalism to rely on a single source for the story.

It's called a free and fair election.
The entire anti-Obama movement consists of sour grapes.

Never said it was a good maxim to hold though...

He's not one of us real Americans. It's not hard to figure out what it's really about.

Also, Voight is wrong about a crucial point: Pravda is not the "Soviet news agency" anymore, it's under Putin's thumb and it publishes outright lies and Kremlin propaganda.

I think the real state agency news is found in RIA Novosti, or maybe Itar-Tass.

You bring up a good point about the American left - I heartily endorse Social Security and nationalized health care and all that stuff. But I'm also critical of government entrepreneurship, not because it's a new thing (it's cute how people think the federal government only started bailing companies out in 2007 when there's a long, glorious, decades long history of such activity), but because it is, indeed, not socialist in any way, shape or form.

Best moment is when that asshat Voight laments that the Obama administration is attacking the "enterpeners" at 5:10. (I think he means "entrepreneurs.")
He also quotes Lincoln and Pravda to bolster his fuzzy argument -- all of which boils down to: Angie! Brad! Pay attention to me or I'll embarrass you even more!

No, John Voight does (did?) the Chabad telethon every year. He is or was their big celeb. But why? Why John Voight? It would be fund to hear how they met.
Chabad anecdotes: The local Chabad Rabbi's kids used to go down into the village and play video games on Friday nights. On Yom Kippur once, Bob Dylan's limo drove into the Chabad building. Bob went up to the shul while his son roller skated around the underground parking lot. On Yom Kippur. (Good name for a song in there somewhere) Barbara Streisand used to come over to the Chabad house one in a while and reportedly received permission to pray with the men.
