One of the bits of running schtick in our house is that if Chandra hears me rustling in the kitchen, she'll walk in the room and say, "Jason, what are you eating?" I'll look at her with my mouth stuffed full of Triscuits and say, "Nuffin." Usually I try and give her my best "Uh oh, I'm busted" look.
Somehow I find this less amusing:
This morning Bush campaign chairman Marc Racicot was interviewed by Juan Williams on NPR. When asked about the president's Air National Guard service he said, the president's and John Kerry's service "compare very favorably... He (i.e. the president) signed up for dangerous duty. He volunteered to go to Vietnam. He wasn’t selected to go, but nonetheless served his country very well …"Posted by Jason at February 23, 2004 11:28 AMHe volunteered to go to Vietnam?
Marc, no he didn't.
Does he think no one is listening?
(For some reason Williams, made no effort to call him on it.)
Let's set aside the fact that pulling strings to get into the Air National Guard in 1968 is, on its face, quite the opposite of volunteering to go to Vietnam. When the president signed up for the National Guard there was a check box asking whether he wanted to volunteer for overseas service. And he checked off "do not volunteer."
