Update On August 6, 2001, "A Day Of Infamy"

As covered below, Elizabeth Bumiller, hard-left hardcore hack, decided to slip in an anti-Bush non-sequitor into a rather lame piece about Bush's vacations.

I knew she'd done it before, but I'd forgotten when. She previously made certain to mention that CCR's Fortunate Son -- about a "Senator's son" who didn't have to go to Vietnam -- was not on Bush's iPod.

Not that it was on his iPod, which would be somewhat ironic and yes, a bit newsworthy. But that it wasn't. Which is akin to noting that John Kerry's iPod did not contain the Edgar Winters' classic Frankenstein.

Thanks to Slublog for the reminder. He's also ever so glad we have a professional media that doesn't stoop to the hyperpartisan snarking and inappropriately off-the-cuff politicized slams that amateur blogs do.

I also heard that the President doesn't beat his wife. I can't believe that the MSM is missing that point.

Fortunate Son is a kick-ass song. The best anti-war song ever written, I'd say. And certainly a good argument against a draft-era army, where the poor can't get, or don't know how to get deferments. Doesn't apply to the modern military at all though.

Posted by: Mark on August 9, 2005 01:13 PM

The song doesn't even apply to Bush. John Fogerty was a member of the California National Guard, so I doubt he would have referred to a member of the Texas Air National Guard as a draft dodger.

Ace, please stop chilling their dissent. The public has a right to know these things. Besides, if they reported it, you can be sure that he really doesn't have it on there. "Multi-layer" such and such or whatever.

My family celebrated PDB Day the first couple of years. But it's gotten so commercialized lately.

Exactly, Paul. I mean, I don't know about you, but with all of the sales, I sure as Hell stayed away from the mall this weekend.

Ami Kozak: Every single Tucker Carlson episode consists of him claiming he didn't say the things he said in the last episode
Also: this is the manipulation Tucker does that i hate the most. It's so cowardly. All he does is smear people (and Jews, generally), and then claim "I have nothing against [the person or group I just smeared.]" He'll even claim "I love [x], actually." Just again and again and again. It's all a lie, of course. A year ago he smeared Jews but added how beautiful he thought Israel was, and then two weeks ago, he said Israel is ugly as dog-shit and nothing beautiful has been built there "since 1948."
Just got this email from Dracula: "I love Van Helsing, actually, he's one of my personal heroes, if I'm being honest. I will claw the heart out of his belly and bathe in his blood before the children of Babylon, but I have nothing but respect for Van Helsing, actually. Love is the answer. Except for the followers of the Christ whom I am commanded to turn into my dark army of Satan. And I totally don't worship Satan, I just think we should listen to both sides. Hugs and kisses, may Van Helsing burn in the blood-red fires of hell throughout eternity, even though I consider him a close and dear friend, Vlad called Dracul."
