Hypocrisy Ain't Just A River In Egypt

On Political Animal, Mr. Frum is discussing the hypocrisy of conservatives as related to the military service of Mr. Bush and Mr. Kerry. Many Republicans, who now wish to examine whether or not Kerry was "injured enough" to recieve his first Purple Heart, were appalled at thought of applying further scrutiny to Bush's military records.

As always, Kevin Frum covers it better than most and so I'll add just one thing. If we're talking about hypocrisy where Vietnam War service records are concerned, let's not forget this chestnut:

"The fundamental difficulty is that he has not told the full truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth." - George H.W. Bush, challenging Bill Clinton's draft record.

When will Bush Sr. finally put his foot down and demand that Junior tells us the whole story behind his absence from the Alabama National Guard?
