The Swift Liars kept Vietnam alive. Now AWOL issue to be on 60 Minutes!

The campaign battle over Vietnam War records is still raging, but President Bush may soon be the one answering uncomfortable questions about his past service. Ben Barnes, the former lieutenant governor of Texas, will finally break his silence and talk to the press about what role he played in helping Bush get a coveted slot in the Texas Air National Guard in 1968. Sources say Barnes has already sat down for a "60 Minutes" interview that will air a week from Sunday. A "60 Minutes" spokesperson declined to comment, saying the program does not discuss reports that are in progress.

1. This is absolutely perfect, but if I was Mr. Barnes
I would stay out of airplanes, cars, and would most definitely stay away from pretzels.

3. Ooooo! GREAT! I heard his announced this the other day, and
I was hoping some major media would pick it up! Gee, 60 minutes has been airing a lot of "shrub" detrimental stuff lately. I hope they have enough clout to stay on the air!
