4. Check out the LBN page.
Skinner has a "web exclusive" about Bush* lying about being in the Air Force when he was running for congress years ago.

15. For the record, I fear that you're right.
The media tries very hard to make criticisms of Bush look less serious than they are. I'm sure that they'll try to blow this one off as a matter of semantics.

That being said, there is some evidence that a few prominent members of the media are ready to unload on Bush. Dan Rather, for example.

If just a couple of highly-placed journalists give this story legs, it could become a big deal. We can only hope.

13. The original is on the front page.
It's certainly not locked, nor do I expect that it will be anytime soon.

12. Nothing ventured, nothing gained...
What is the harm in it versus possible benefit. There is NO harm and possible benefit given that the ad has been referred to in media articles in the past but this is the first time I have seen the ad itself.

The media will do what it will do, giving it more to choose from can only be a positive, imo.
