2. I thought you had to be smart to fly a plane. No offense to pilots, but I

guess any old dumbass can do it.

I'm shocked that they let that dum dum fly.

3. HAhahahaha, we're supposed to actually believe this?

"Previous requests from other requesters for President Bush's Individual Flight Records did not lead to the discovery of these records because at the time President Bush left the service, flight records were subject to retention for only 24 months and we understood that neither the Air Force nor the Texas Air National Guard retained such records thereafter," the Pentagon told the AP.


"Out of an abundance of caution," the government "searched a file that had been preserved in spite of this policy" and found the Bush records, the letter said. "The Department of Defense (news - web sites) regrets this oversight during the previous search efforts."

"These documents confirm that the president served honorably in the National Guard," White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan said Tuesday night.

4. Well, well, well...

What do we have here. AWOL. This is how safe we are with Bush.

Significantly, it showed the unit joined a "24-hour active alert mission to safeguard against surprise attack" in the southern United State beginning on Oct. 6, 1972, a time when Bush did not report for duty, according to his pay records.

5. I don't "get" why it is worse that Kerry served two tours in Vietnam

and "maybe" got a Purple Heart "he didn't fully deserve" - and that is somehow worse than Bush dodging the draft and faking his way through a "champaign command" and going AWOL to boot! I am just at a loss as to how these two records can even be in the same catagory. We are being taken over by a sizable portion of the population who are either in favor of fascism or who are just too stupid to recognize that that is what they are supporting. I will now pull out my hair (luckily, even at 51 years of age, I have tons of hair - sorry).
