CBS smear on Bush warrants scepticism

The former Lt. Governor of Texas Ben Barnes will appear on CBS to claim that he "pulled strings" to get George W. Bush into the Air National Guard, and in effect kept him from serving in Vietnam. He is also expected to charge that Bush's drinking made him a liability to the Air Guard. Its no surprise that CBS is sponsoring this smear of the president, but what is strange is how little they vetted Barnes before agreeing to give him free airtime to assasinate the president's character. Captain's Quarters point to the following campaign financial disclosures from John Kerry:

Contributor.......Total 1999-2002...........2004 Cycle
Alan Solomont..........$612,327.................$82,500
Orin Kramer............$425,835.................$83,500
Ben Barnes............$389,750.................$74,500

Ben Barnes is the 3rd greatest contributor to John Kerry! Lets not forget that the Swiftees were brushed aside as hacks because they recieved contributions from a prominent Republican. But this guy Barnes is one of the largest contributors to John Kerry, making him financially vested in a Kerry win.

Let's wait and see if CBS is called on their blatent bias, and disgusting smearing of the president.
