Suckerpunch! Bob Harris over at This Modern World introduces a yearbook photo of W's unsportsmanlike conduct in rugby:
As long as we're re-examining the 1960s, looking for signs of character, trying to decide if a man who volunteered for combat and was decorated five times was more or less courageous than a guy who didn't even show up for his own medical exam... here's George W. Bush during his college days, hitting a fellow sportsman in the face.
And: As Atrios points out, Bush lied about playing varsity rugby, a sport that's never had a varsity team at Yale, neither in the '60s nor today. (Thanks, Ben.)
