Okay, For Real, The Last Thing

David Corn notices that Bush lied about being in the Air Force (he was never in the Air Force). This, btw, is entirely separate from the spottiness of his National Guard record.

And Dana Milbank offers up some of Bush and Cheney's most egregious distortions of John Kerry's words.

This election is a contest between a flawed, somewhat colorless, overly ambitious, but still decent, serious, intelligent, and capable man on the one hand, and an absolute mudbeast on the other. Bush hasn't encountered an anti-Kerry lie he doesn't grinningly approve of, nor is he capable of telling a complete, unqualified, unadulterated truth.
