Facts Are Stubborn Things

I am starting to get that "broken record sound," but it really does seem that the Kerry camp's pretty desperate. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at a campaign strategy meeting-- or to see their internal polls, which must have them very, very worried.

Their desperation shows in their attempt to revive the Bush National Guard "issue," a tired old story that ran out of gas months ago. There's simply nothing to it. The latest smack-down of this smear appears here in The Hill. Byron York's summary tells us everything we need to know. If York's account is true, then there is clearly nothing to the "AWOL" story. In fact, Glenn Reynolds wonders if Bush is not setting Kerry up with another "rope-a-dope" tactic:

Reading further in this story, I note that the Bush folks seem to want to press
this issue, in order to demand that Kerry release his military records in full.
Is this another rope-a-dope? Hmm. It just might be. "Kerry Navy probe to expand scope?"

Hmm, indeed.
