What's Chimp's excuse for missing his flight physical?

[Sparkly]

If they're opening this door via the SwiftSmears, why isn't this question being asked, given the MoveOn ad?

Was he ever asked? Did he ever give a believable answer?

As I recall, Karen Hughes said there weren't "special doctors" in Alabama, or some such. Why isn't he being asked this question now, if it wasn't answered?

1. He said

His personal doctor was in Houston.

It's total unmitigated BULLSHIT. Only designated Aviation Medical Examiners or Flight Surgeons can perform a flight physical, and depending on your type of license, it's needed every 6 months, annually, or bi-annually. And if he was at an air base in Alabama, they had them on base. His personal doctor could not have given the physical.

3. check this, in which I refer to a better thread that nobody

has linked yet

I could not BELIEVE they mentioned the PHYSICAL in that new moveon ad tonight! that was most excellent

I think it's going to have to come out at some point, cause the pugs apparently think that ad is catching hold, and they don't let go of a good thing (willie horton?) until it's lost its usefulness

5. It's Really a Quite Brilliant Strategy

Release hints of revelation followed by full-scale, unassailable truth. When we have the advantage of truth on our side, we can release it on OUR timetable - not theirs. I predict progressive revelation of *'s sordid past as the election nears.

On the other side, Karl Rove has already showed his cards, and it's a shitty hand - based on lies, smears, bribery, douchebaggery, and assholery. He spent months/years nurturing these elements of his smear campaign, and he was forced to reveal them early in hopes that some of the stinking lies would stick. As the records of the Smear Boat Vets for * come to light, their integrity is revealed for the dungheap it is.
