Calpundit is Only Half Right about Trivial Scandals

by Liberty and Power

Kevin Drum at Calpundit properly dismisses the Kerry intern love affair story, which has been dominating the talk-radio airwaves, as trivial. Unfortunately, he takes all too seriously the equally trivial story about Dubya and the National Guard. Why should anyone care whether George Bush or, for that matter, Bill Clinton tried to get out of participating in a misguided war thirty or more years ago? I certainly don't.

David, Do you really believe that the records of privileged elites seeking to evade military duty to which they subsequently order men and women not so privileged to duty are trivial? Your reaction seems not very thoughtful. If GWB evaded military service which he now claims he fulfilled, it adds to a youthful record of irresponsibility that he now hides and may be lying about.
