"No duh - but aft_lizard was right in his idea of Bush reversing the tables on them by inviting them in because THEY WANTED TO BE TURNED AWAY."

I disagree. Bush war right to turn them away.

1:This isn't his fight.

2: He's laughing at them already because they're dishing it out but can't take it

3: He's forcing John "Bring it On" Kerry into a position where he must answer charges against him or risk young voters learning the truth about what he did when he came home OR risk young voters learning the truth about what he did when he came home. Thereby forcing him to try to obfuscate by concentrating on his :

4: Almost non-existant senate record.

I think Bush fumbled the ball on this one in terms of publicity only. Small blimp though - nothing major. You gave no reason why turing away these Kerry tools helps Bush - only recited talking points.
