Gary Sinise, hard-working crusader for the USO ever since September 12, 2001, was given the Presidential Citizens Medal, the second-highest honor a civilian can earn.

Way to go, Mr. Sinise!

Is it just me, or is Associated Press determined to make every story about the Bush administration stink?  Look how the story hammers hard about Watergate, never mind that Colson is getting the award for his decades of work in helping prisoners to turn their lives around and become better citizens.  Notice, too, how Gary Sinise’s name and his work for the USO is buried, while his portraying Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump is all that’s mentioned at the top.

Need proof that this fails the good journalism test?  Who were the other TWENTY people given one of the highest honors in the land?  What is Donna Cassata’s deal?
