The group endorsed Bush in 2000 over Democrat Al Gore, a Vietnam veteran. This year, they chose Bush, who served stateside in the Texas Air National Guard during Vietnam, over John Kerry, a decorated veteran of the same war who is also a motorcycle enthusiast.

Is it my imagination, or is the author grinding her teeth?

Blatant teeth grinding! The author insinuates disbelief of the endorsee through TWO election cycles!

Dontchaluvit! <|:-)~~

No doubt grinding teeth. And grinding an axe as well, evident by cluttering up a perfectly good news story by editorializing with these non-relevant hash bites which had absolutely nothing to do with the event:

"The Kerry campaign said Bush's proposed budget cuts would affect veterans.

""It's pretty audacious of the president to brag about looking the leaders of Rolling Thunder in the eye considering that his most recent veterans initiative is a secret plan to cut almost $1 billion from the Veterans Affairs," Kerry spokesman Phil Singer said."

"The administration, according to White House documents, has told officials who oversee veterans programs to prepare preliminary 2006 budgets that would cut spending after the presidential election. The documents show spending for the Veterans Affairs Department would fall 3.4 percent from $29.7 billion in 2005 to $28.7 billion. The White House says the memos sent to agencies contain routine guidance, and insist final spending decisions will not be made for months."

Associated Press should be ashamed for not asking for that crap to be deleted before they moved the story.
