A nice shot from Podesta:

"Senator Kerry carries shrapnel in his thigh as distinct from President Bush who carries two fillings in his teeth from his service in the Alabama National Guard, which seems to be his only time that he showed up," John Podesta, former chief of staff in the Clinton White House, said on ABC's "This Week."

Except that Podesta is being far too charitable to Bush. (I sympathize; I have the same problem—no matter how hard I try to be cynical about Bush, it's never enough.)

Once again from the Incomparable Bombproof Vault, deep in the bedrock foundations of The Mighty Corrente Building, we present the following from the archives:

I can't verify Bush's presence in Alabama, but as a dental professional I am intrigued with his dental records. Generally, an individual with a large bank account doesn't have any missing permanent molars without receiving a fixed bridge (#3 is missing, yet no bridge is placed between #2-4, #2 has a crown, but #4 only has a three surface restoration). The American public needs to see his posterior bitewings from 1973 and a current series of bitewings to better judge the authenticity of the information provided.

The dental records in Bush's military records are fake? Nah. They couldn't be that crude and clumsy, could they?

No. They would never do that!

Readers, can someone tell John Podesta that he's giving Bush too much credit again?
