Daily Howler: John O’Neill lied in George’s face. He knew George was weak and unprepared<\/a><\/p>\n

Did Kerry try to \u201cgut intelligence\u201d in 1995? Bush said so back in March, and today we get another look at how cosmically phony that claim really was. In today\u2019s Post, Dana Milbank reports that Rep. Porter Goss (R-FL) also proposed a cut in intelligence services that year\u2014a cut that was massively larger than Kerry\u2019s. But is Bush disturbed by Goss\u2019s bad judgment? Hardly! Goss is now the president\u2019s choice to head the CIA!<\/b>

\n DOLE (1988): As we approached the enemy, there was a brief exchange of gunfire. I took a grenade in hand, pulled the pin, and tossed it in the direction of the farmhouse. It wasn’t a very good pitch (remember, I was used to catching passes, not throwing them). In the darkness, the grenade must have struck a tree and bounced off. It exploded nearby, sending a sliver of metal into my leg — the sort of injury the Army patched up with Mercurochrome and a Purple Heart. <\/p>\n
