Just ask the so-called President if he took his physical and if
not, why not? I'm sure he'll cooperate to get this all behind him and clear his good name.

1. Good idea, but that point is not in question
Though the 'forgery fanatics' would have you think so.

The only memo that exhibits any sort of so-called 'typographical anomaly' is the CYA memo talking about pressure.

The other memos' authenticity are not in question (the memos that state he was suspended for not taking his physical), except in the mind of those affected by Rove's counterspin offensive. (not saying you are...just saying).

2. Agree - GOP Assertion of "possibility" = truth as truth dies
GOP Assertion of "possibility" = truth as truth dies
At least in the US Media

War Hero is evil

AWOL is hero

Compassion = tax cuts

less benefits = more "choice"

more pollution = greater cleanup

lack of collaborator's relationship with Osama means Terrorist sponsor against US.

3. you are not allowed to ask him uncomfortable or complicated things
Edited on Fri Sep-10-04 07:48 AM by mopaul
at the risk of being banished from the press corps. reporters who are known to ask uncomfortable or complicated questions will be punished accordingly and labelled unpatriotic

4. That was done 4 years ago
and no-one paid any attention to the fact that Bush's answer was bullshit. This is why looking at American politics can seem like banging your head against a brick wall - even when Bush was caught red-handed talking bollocks, neither the media, the Democrats, nor the public as a whole called him on it.

Records unearthed by the Globe showed that Bush was removed from flight status in August 1972 for failing to take his annual flight physical. Bush aides said he didn't take the physical because his personal physician was in Houston, and he was in Alabama working on a political campaign. But that explanation didn't hold up because flight physicals must be administered by certified Air Force flight surgeons, and Bush easily could have found one at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Ala., where he was living.
