AWOL matters
"[T]he gross character flaw that the AWOL matter reveals is [that this] is a presidency sold to the public on the phony image of Bush as a man of superior character. [This leads to the arrogance that dresses Bush up in a flight suit] in way specifically designed to emphasize his own phonied-up service record, for the sake of a photo op. That style of governing goes out the window when the 'duty and honor' guy turns out to have disobeyed orders, violated his oath and kissed off his duty by skipping his physical and unilaterally taking off for Alabama.
"AWOL matters because it reveals how this administration not only has no respect for the truth, but it lies -- repeatedly, without conscience, and so far without consequence. Once it has become clear that the president's credibility deservedly is nearly nonexistent, then a number of other issues -- Plame, the economy, the environment -- come into much clearer focus."
