CBS producer Mary Mapes wrote TRUTH AND DUTY, exposing the extraordinary pressure Bush applied to CBS and Viacom to prevent the Texas ANG story from broadcast.

Essentially, Bush displayed the same contempt for truth and duty to his country that he does for the rule of law.

Bush missed his required training and was reprimanded and stripped of flight status.

Amazon has the book--

It''s sad that left-of-center critiques require so much veracity before they can be mumbled, but if you''re ''Swiftboating'' John Kerry any ol'' rumour will do.

I guess that''s the difference selling your children to the Saudi Royal Family will buy you.

I have no doubt that a majority of Bushies would join the Shrubmeister if he chose to take over the United States and form a Dictatorship. They''d happily wear Neocon Nazi Swastikas, and goose-step down the avenue in prideful parades for their Furher. They love Leader and Party over Nation, Constitution, or Law.
That''s how Hitler came to power, by brainwashing weak minded loyalists. Many dimbulbs LOVE Authority telling them what to think, say, and do, and actually require it to be happy. They are lost without it.

"Right Wing Authoritarianism",by Robert Altemeyer, University of Manitoba, states the RepubliCons have a deep seeded need to follow the dictates of church leaders, government officals and pundits, no matter their history of failure, short comings or failure rate. What ever they tell ''em is fine with them, as long as someone thell thems how to act and think.

Poor neocons usually project. They think everyone is delusional, unemployed, and stupid, because that''s THEIR reality. I simply like to point out the truth, and that really angers the Bots. To admit they''ve followed Cowards, Traitors, Draft Dodgers and War Criminals for the last 7 years, is more than their tiny little pea brains can absorb. They''d have to admit how utterly stupid and moronic they''ve been.
Nothing unusual actually, a typical situation with 18%ers.....
