Well, as illustrated in the all-caps two-page thread below, Bush has been attacked by CBS (allegedly with a "document" provided by the Kerry campaign), and now Dems are going after Bush, claiming that he never served in the Air Force and calling him a liar. Lo and behold, Drudge obstains evidence that he did serve in the Air Force for 120 days -- the same time period that Kerry was a "hero" in Vietnam.
What happened to being above it all and sticking to the issues? Didn't Kerry, and Dems by association, call on Bush to stop the negative campaigning? I'm sorry but with Kerry already down in the polls by double-digits, I don't see how their mud-slinging is going to do much damage when it is proven inaccurate and outright fraud within 24 hours.

DNC TO LAUNCH FRESH ATTACK ON BUSH GUARD DUTY: WILL RAISE QUESTIONS ABOUT 1978 CAMPAIGN LIT
**Exclusive**
Faster than a CBS eye can blink, dogged Dems are set to take to the airwaves anew hoping to keep questions about President Bush's National Guard duty in play, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
"George W. Bush's campaign literature claimed that he 'served in the U.S. Air Force.' The only problem? He didn't," slams a new DNC press release set for distribution.
"George Bush has a clear pattern of lying about his military service," DNC Communications Director Jano Cabrera blasts in the new release. "From 1978 to the present day, George Bush has refused to tell voters the truth about his service. It's time for the President to come clean."
"Flyers distributed to Texas voters during Bush's failed Congressional race say 'he served in the U.S. Air Force and the Texas Air National Guard.' But according to Air Force officials, Air National Guardsmen are not counted as members of the active-duty Air Force."
But a form obtained by DRUDGE on Monday shows Bush was active duty Air Force, albeit for 120 days.
