Moore made much hash of the fact that Bush was told about the events of 9/11, and then spent seven more minutes with the kids.

But then John Kerry tried the same trick. Guess what we've learned about him now?

The second plane hit the World Trade Center at 9:03 a.m., and American Airlines Flight 77 struck the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. According to Kerry, he and his fellow senators sat frozen and indecisive for 34 minutes. Kerry is dismissive of the president's explanation that he did not wish to seem panicked and so remained seated for seven minutes (while aides were busily trying to acquire more information), yet Kerry admits to not knowing what to do for 34 minutes.

Bush made up his mind that a few more minutes with the kids was reasonable. Then he left and went on his way. Senator Kerry, member of the intelligence committee, purported former war hero, sits frozen for nearly five times as long.

Based on this metric, I'm sure the left will be even more concerned Kerry's credentials for commander-in-chief than Bush's.

Right? :-)

Right.
