George W. Bush’s ribbons and awards for service:


Www.dailykos.com

There appears to be no official document yet released for the two ribbons worn by George Bush in this picture circulating on the web. They are the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award, and the Small Arms Expert Marksmanship ribbon. Missing is the Texas State Guard Service Medal awarded to just about anyone who just showed up for three years straight.

And the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are challenging John Kerry’s war record?

What’s interesting to me about both men is that John Kerry said “send me” and then came back from Vietnam and spoke out strongly against the war he had fought in.

Bush on the other hand seems to have supported the war strongly, but never volunteered to go to Southeast Asia to fight.

More on the Swift Boat saga tonight on 'Hardball.'

There really is a bunch of interesting stuff on the blogs about all this— check them out and remember they are written by people with a point of view— but most of them wear that point of view on their sleeve so you know where they are coming from. Thanks to the blogosphere for the pictures that put this all in perspective.

BTW thanks for all your suggestions and comments on ideas to blog about! Keep them coming by emailing me a [e-mail]!

It is just too good to be true. And even our rotten media can't duck this!
