Kevin Gregory at McClatchy Watch has a great quote by Howard Dean in 2004:
“The real issue is this,” Dean said in March 2004, when endorsing formal rival Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., “Who would you rather have in charge of the defense of the United States of America, a group of people who never served a day overseas in their life, or a guy who served his country honorably and has three Purple Hearts and a Silver Star on the battlefields of Vietnam?”
McCain, by the way, has been awarded the Silver Star, the Legion of Merit, two Bronze Star Medals, a Purple Heart and the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Hmm…and Obama and Hillary have what military experience?
Howard Dean has never served a day in the military, yet he denigrates Bush’s National Guard service.
Can we say “hypocrite”?
