More unintended consequences

Power Line is reporting that "[E]very time Bush is shown in his National Guard Uniform, is a plus for him because he looks so cute in it. His image is very appealing to women." He didn't look too bad in the flight suit on the USS Lincoln.

A number of readers also observed that before the current controversy, many people had no idea that President Bush once flew fighter jets--a very impressive accomplishment. And listening to the Dems would lead a casual voter to think that Bush skipped out on his National Guard service altogether, a notion that is refuted by the photos of him in a fighter plane.

I doubt that is what Newsweek, et al. had in mind.

Another positive thing about Bush is that he doesn't say "I had the courage . . ." as Kerry did on his interview with Don Imus yesterday. The "Bush is a coward and Kerry is a hero" meme has run its course. Kerry seems kind of thick, but then he wasn't a jet pilot. I'd be willing to put up the control panel of a fighter jet up against that of a Swift Boat and have you tell me which requires more intelligence.
