A BUZZFLASH READER CONTRIBUTION

I now understand why the Bush camp went to such extreme lengths to smear Kerry's military service record. It was an attempt to overshadow the scandal that was set to be revealed about Bush and the Air National Guard.

It now appears that the release this week of a video of Ben Barnes talking about being ashamed of helping Bush get into the Guard was a mere prelude of things to come.

Citizens for Honest Fighter Pilots has learned that 60 Minutes is set to reveal how in 1968, Bush got Ben Barnes to ask the head of the Texan Air National Guard, General James Rose, to give Bush a spot in the pilot-training program which would automatically excuse him from the draft and allow him to avoid service in Vietnam.

This alone is not necessarily new information. The real scandal comes from the revelation that Bush later allowed a company to keep a lucrative Texas state contract in exchange for Barnes' remaining silent about helping Jr get into the guard.

1. "Citizens For Honest Fighter Pilots"

Is this a real Poncho or a Sear's Poncho? (Zappa anyone?)

Seriously, is this the name of a real group or just a take-off on the SVBTs?

2. I don't know. I've seen it twice on Buzzflash now

She doesn't have a website yet. I wish she would get one so we could e-mail her Walt Starr's exclusive.

3. That WOULD be cool...

Does Buzzflash have Walt's scoop? Surely they do. Maybe BF could pass it along to her.

4. Bribery? Wonder why we haven't heard anymore about the guy who

says he witnessed what he thought was the 'destruction' of records arranged by Allbaugh and Bartlett.

I would like to say bribery AND destruction of records.

I say let him have his little disputed ribbon.
