Drudge pulls a DUH!

Attempting to bolster President Bush as he continues to stonewall questions about his Texas Air National Guard service, Internet gossip Matt Drudge posted a 1968 document from Bush's military personnel file Monday afternoon that purports to buttress a long-ago claim by Bush that he served not only in the Texas Air National Guard but in the Air Force as well. Although this "exclusive" Drudge posting is a trivial sidebar to the larger story of Bush's absence from two years of military service, the document itself -- presumably provided to Drudge by a Republican operative -- turns out to be an incriminating piece of evidence against Bush's case.

1. But but but!

He was honorably discharged! :eyes:

2. and military documents are always accepted as fact and the last

authority. I mean, nobody questioned any military document's accuracy when going after Kerry.

3. By all accounts, he was

the result of a dishonorable 'discharge' by his ignorant father.

9. So was John Muhammad

I don't usually borrow someone else's talking points, and this doesn't mean a damn thing. But neither does Bush constantly squawking about his stupid honorable discharge. For one thing, even Dan Bartlett is no longer denying that Bush did not register with a Massachusetts unit after leaving Alabama for Harvard. So how could Bush possibly have gotten a valid honorable discharge without some kind of favored treatment not available to the general public?

If he could get into a unit over a waiting list; if he could go to Alabama without a transfer order; if he could just stop flying on his own say-so; if he could ignore an order to get a flight physical; if he could skip mandatory training; if he could just pick up and leave to go to Massachusetts and never sign up with a unit there - then getting an honorable discharge he didn't really deserve would not be all that much more difficult, would it?

4. What does the document show?

Please share!

6. The Salon headline is priceless!

Unwitting Drudge indicts Bush

A 1968 document from the president's military file, posted on the Internet, merely reminds us of how far short he fell in fulfilling his service commitments.

Moveon.org has the day pass ad today. I suggest everyone watch their ad and read the whole story.

this unqualified piece of garbage. But I am glad he stepped on his crank with the old golf shoes:)
