Well, we all know that already, but before these two items get lost among the internets' tubes, they're worth a look:

Yesterday, ThinkProgress highlighted a quote on military readiness from candidate George W. Bush in 2000:

So let’s get something straight right now. To point out that our military has been overextended, taken for granted and neglected, that’s no criticism of the military. That is criticism of a president and vice president and their record of neglect.

Hours later, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) reminded Bush again on the House floor...

So when the right talks about “slow bleed,” or tries to cover up their neglect of the military by citing the stellar performance of our soldiers, remember who’s really at fault.

And, look at what John McCain said last night:

"Americans are very frustrated, and they have every right to be. We've wasted a lot of our most precious treasure, which is American lives."

Hmm...barely two weeks ago Barack Obama said the same thing, and the rock-throwers/noise machine got all atwitter.

Where are they now?
Update: "Maverick"-culpa...
