Where is Bush's Outrage Now?

THEN:

On 7/14/92, the Washington Post reported that George W. Bush wrote a letter on behalf of his father's presidential campaign to 85,697 campaign contributors condemning a similar smear operation against Bill Clinton and encouraging those donors not to contribute to the effort.

NOW:

Unlike Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), President Bush refuses to repudiate an ad sponsored by his own top donors that slanders John Kerry's war record, without proof. Even though the ad has been discredited by non-partisan sources, and veterans in the ad itself, Bush has stayed silent.
