Politics: Where we struggle to kneel in the muck.

[bilmore]

Here's part of Terry McAuliffe's speech on 9/8, nine hours BEFORE the Dan Rather Fiction Hour:

"George W. Bush's cover story on his National Guard service is rapidly unraveling. ... George W. Bush needs to answer why he regularly misled the American people about his time in the Guard and who applied political pressure on his behalf to have his performance reviews 'sugarcoated.'" (Terence Hunt, "Questions Raised About Bush Guard Service," The Associated Press, 9/9/04)

Here's the phrase in the forged memo that CBS released to all, for the first time, during the Rather Fiction Hour:

"Harris gave me a message today from Grp regarding Bush's OETR and Staudt is pushing to sugar coat it."

Can you say "coordination"?
