Slate's Saletan: Being There, What 9/11 Tells Us About Bush? Nothing.

Bob Dole got it right in his speech to the Republican convention eight years ago.

Being There
What does 9/11 tell us about Bush? Nothing.
By William Saletan

Watching the attacks on Kerry and the glorification of Bush reminds me of something Dole said in his speech to the Republican convention eight years ago. It was "demeaning to the nation," Dole argued, to be governed by people "who never grew up, never did anything real, never sacrificed, never suffered and never learned."

You tell me which of this year's presidential candidates that statement best describes.
