Why Bush's TANG service matters
It seems to me like the White House's primary defense against the Texas Air National Guard story isn't so much "he was there" as "it doesn't matter if he was there or not". This does stand to diffuse the issue a bit if we don't establish why this is important.

This is important because it is another data point in the endless string of incompetence that makes up George W. Bush's adult life. You can connect the drunken, coke snorting frat boy at Yale, to the "questionable circumstances" that led to his dismissal from TANG, to his failed business ventures, to his failed governorship, all the way to his presidency: complete failures all.

If this story is to have a maximum effect, it needs to be presented as yet another point, not necessarily as the centerpiece of the argument.

3. LOL. Not even a good try.
Everyone here knows that Soros did not found Move On.

Moore implied no such thing.

You better educate yourself about the Carlyle group, too.

Sorry, no cigar.

15. That was supposed to be funny.
You know....Satire?

Granted, many around here got pretty pissed off about that thread. I didn't really care much about it one way or another.

8. Soros didn't found MoveOn
He contributed some money to them, as have hundreds of thousands of their millions of members -- mostly everyday people like me.

But thanks for playing. Tell Rush he got another one wrong.
