Cynical Nation

Has anyone else noticed something profoundly odd about the reemergence of Bush's TANG records as a campaign issue? I've had numerous Democrats approach me personally as well as through op-ed pieces with smirking zingers like, "Turnabout's fair play, huh?" or "Two can play at that game!" or, my favorite, "It's our turn now! Deal with it!"

Is our collective memory span truly that short? Am I the only person who remembers the subject of Bush's military records came first, before the Swift Vets? Been there, done that. I've seen several people who already have the t-shirt.

Their side would claim that "new evidence" has once again breathed life into the controversy. Fine, but my prediction is that it won't work. Most of the voting public who follows such things have already assimilated the belief that Bush's military record is probably less than stellar, and this information has already been factored into Bush's stock price. I do, however, find the whole debate further evidence that many Bush-haters are no longer dealing in reality.
