From a reader:

Dear Johah:

Your 2 Scandals post in the Corner got me thinking. I am a disgruntled democrat who will be voting for Bush. I voted for Gore in 2000 and paid very little attention to the Republican primaries in 2000. I had a vague idea that Bush had partied and accomplished nothing well into his 30’s. I didn’t know he was a pilot until he landed on that aircraft carrier and I didn’t really absorb that he was a fighter pilot until this memo scandal. Now I discover that Bush only managed to successfully fly fighter planes for 4 years when he should have done it for 6. Guess what? My opinion of Bush’s misspent youth just went up.

Is it a good plan for the left to dwell on ‘fighter pilot Bush’ when they could be dwelling on ‘Iraq occupation debacle Bush’?
