Well, the Bush campaign has finally dug up somebody to call John Kerry’s military record into question. Apparently, as [Scott](http://scott.littlemeanfish.com/blog/archives/000814.html) notes, they’re now claiming that Kerry may not have actually “earned” the first of his *three* purple hearts.

In response, Kerry is [releasing](http://nytimes.com/2004/04/22/politics/campaign/22DISC.html?pagewanted=print&position=) his Navy records to the public.

Why, oh why, do the Democrats always cave when faced with this kind of nonsense? Why don’t their campaign advisers ever realize that — and for god’s sake, in this situation more than in any other — there’s one and only one workable response to such bullsh\*t accusations?

The response? “You want to see my military records? Fine. Everything on the table, complete and unabridged. I’ll show you mine, if you show me [yours](http://www.awolbush.com/).”
