BEFORE YOU GET MAD, REMEMBER...THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TRUTH

... to the post-modern intellectual. The "truth" is only what you say it is and is always in quotes!

Shortly after the 2004 Republican convention, Mary Mapes produced a segment for 60 Minutes II that alleged that George W. Bush had manipulated his enlistment in the Texas Air National Guard to avoid serving in combat in Vietnam....

Recall that the heart of Mapes’ story was that Bush was a coward who didn’t want to face combat. In the context of the 2004 election, the importance of this attack cannot be underestimated....

Well look what's come out, now that it's only so much paper:

Mary Mapes knew before she put the story on the air that George W. Bush, the alleged slacker, had in fact volunteered to go to Vietnam.
You have no right to impose your truth on her! I mean, it's there in the Constitution...right under the right to persue your own truth part...or sumpin'.....

Garsh. People are so picky!
