However, I am a bit unclear on how Kerry's possibly adding flavor to a war story by placing on Christmas Eve rather than on February is much more significant that Bush's incorrect statement.

I agree that they are equally significant, which is to say neither should concern us much at all. And they wouldn't except that we were discussing bilmore's refusal to countenance such untruths from his children, and so I was concerned that perhaps he was unaware that he might have to explain to his kids why such behavior was OK coming from the President but not OK from Senator Kerry. At that point, the conversation about parental hypocrisy moved over to the LWK board.
