Josh Marshall flags Campbell Brown’s destruction of McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds on CNN last night:

During the interview, Bounds repeated the whole litany of misleading talking points defending Sarah Palin’s qualifications as a potential vice president, including the silly claim that Palin is commander of Alaska’s National Guard and therefore has military experience.

When pressed by Brown, Bounds failed to specify any actual decisions that Palin has made as commander of the Guard, but he nonetheless concluded the interview by suggesting that Barack Obama “doesn’t have a lot of experience, certainly has no military experience, no command military experience, which both of our candidates have.”

Just for the record, that “command military experience” consists of McCain directing a Navy training squadron and Palin holding an unused power to control the National Guard during a state emergency. Does anyone think either of those experiences has any direct relevance to the strategic decisions made by the Commander-in-Chief?
