This is huge. Here’s a video of Ben Barnes, the former Lieutenant Governor of Texas, apologizing for helping Bush cut in line to get into the National Guard. Here’s a transcript from Josh Marshall :

Let?s talk a minute about John Kerry and George Bush and I know them both. And I?m not name dropping to say I know ?em both. I got a young man named George W. Bush in the National Guard when I was Lt. Gov. of Texas and I?m not necessarily proud of that. But I did it. And I got a lot of other people into the National Guard because I thought that was what people should do, when you’re in office you helped a lot of rich people. And I walked through the Vietnam Memorial the other day and I looked at the names of the people that died in Vietnam and I became more ashamed of myself than I have ever been because it was the worst thing that I did was that I helped a lot of wealthy supporters and a lot of people who had family names of importance get into the National Guard and I?m very sorry about that and I?m very ashamed and I apologize to you as voters of Texas.

Expect every blogger to the left of Zell to be linking to this one. Let’s see the K/E people make a web video out of this one. And while they’re at it, I’d love to see this one show up on the news. Of course, I’d be kidding myself to think that this would get half the attention than those Swift Boat liars have been getting.
