The Essence of the Bush Administration and John McCain
Bob Herbert in the this morning's NYT on support for Senator's Webb's proposed G.I. bill (note that all of the sponsors are veterans) to help returning veterans.

"Who wouldn’t support an effort to pay for college for G.I.’s who have willingly suited up and put their lives on the line, who in many cases have served multiple tours in combat zones and in some cases have been wounded?

We did it for those who served in World War II. Why not now?

Well, you might be surprised at who is not supporting this effort. The Bush administration opposes it, and so does Senator John McCain."

1. Information that needs to get out to the general public
I intend to use it the next time someone says McCain "supports the troops".
