It tells us something about the dishonest journalistic dipshits at CBS.

CBS News has stood by its story and no one -- but no one -- has attacked the heart of the story, the contentions made -- that George W. Bush received preferential treatment to enter the National Guard, disobeyed orders while on duty there, and was never forced into active service in the Vietnam war also on the basis of preferential treatment. Witness after witness has confirmed these contentions, and the White House has never disputed any of them.

While other young men were being drafted and sent to die in the jungles of Southeast Asia, one politically-connected young man was given a special break -- his life was placed above those of other young Americans who died and from whom we will never hear again -- and this politically-connected young man, given that special break, still failed to comply with his obligations. Somehow, in spite of being given special treatment and having others sent to die in his place, and despite his refusal to obey simple orders or fulfill his undisputed commitment, this same politically-connected young man was never orderd to active duty.
