I don't care that Bush didn't serve 30 years ago. I do care that he has tried to whitewash the situation now. What would be so bad about standing up and saying, "Yes, I had an opportunity to serve the country without getting shot at. I took it. Deal with it."

Bush's modern cowadice is shown by his testimony before the 9/11 commission yesterday. His conditions: Cheney at his side. No oath. No recordings. In other words, he's not willing to stand up by himself and speak for the record and for the public to hear. I'd say that the buck stops somewhere else, except for the fact that so many of his rich friends are getting so much richer during his residency.
