09/11/2004 06:29 PMA tempest is crawling across the blogosphere, and it isn't named Ivan.
At the eye of the storm is CBS, and a 60 minutes report allegedly

heart of this story authentic?

Mark Frauenfelder:
President Bush had a lot of fun as a pilot in the Air National Guard.
He got to fly really cool jets, while maintaining the lifestyle of a
rich playboy with plenty of
upst
airs connections that allowed him to
ignore direct orders from his
commander and come and go as he pleased. And now, the President
has a team of folks dedicated to smearing Kerry for volunteering for
hazardous duty in Vietnam. And it's working! Most people now believe
Bush is a military hero while Kerry is a shirking, wobbly liar. The
president is a lot smarter than I thought.
Simon sez: "I put together this visual explanation of Dubya's Air
National Guard service (or lack thereof) based entirely on the
released documents to date. My goal was to put the confusing mixture
of events and records into some kind of order." Link
