Wrong
Errol Morris is a talented filmmaker but he is completely off base in today's Times:

And then there was the president. Though George W. Bush's military record was arguably less impressive than [Kerry's], the Republicans never misrepresented who he was. Mr. Bush never pretended to be a war hero. He never pretended to be anything but a ne'er-do-well who turned his life around when he became a born-again Christian. His life story made sense; it was recognizable and easy to understand. There was no point in attacking him about his war record (or lack of one): he had already conceded the point. He had never claimed to be a hero. John Kerry had.

The Howler has a response. More should be written about this.
