John Podhoretz provides a great summary of the CBS memos blunder, giving specific credit to the Power Line boys. (Way to go, guys!) He adds some info about Ben Barnes that I didn't know:I thought on Wednesday that it was scandalous for "60 Minutes" to turn over a good deal of its time on Wednesday night to one Ben Barnes, a one-time Texas political powerhouse who now claims he got George W. Bush into the National Guard.Ha! Ben must've taken lessons from John Kerry. "That's how you do it, Ben. And be sure to mention Jenjis Khan, that always gets 'em."
The problem is not, as some would have it, that Barnes has raised half a million dollars for Kerry. The problem is that Barnes has already lied about this on videotape, and I use the word "lied" without difficulty, where he says he pulled strings for Bush when "I was lieutenant governor of Texas."
The thing is that George W. Bush was sworn into the National Guard in May 1968. Ben Barnes didn't become lieutenant governor until 1969.
