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.
