Texans For Truth to Offer Reward ---Wanna Earn 50K?
For anyone who can offer PROOF that Dumbya fullfilled his TANG duties for the calendar year 1972. They are offering $50,000 to anyone who possesses such PROOF.

Was just announced on MSNBC!

3. Betcha there's never a claim!
I'd be willing to put up $1,000,000 to get that proof. NO, I don't have a million $$'s, but I'm that confident. THERE ISN'T ANYONE!

4. It sounds like bush does not have the proof himself.
Otherwise, why would they use the sbv as a vehicle to encourage someone out there to forge it.

7. I believe MSNBC said the TFT will annouce it next Tuesday.
So it can be chatted around until then, and it would be 'in the range' of $50K.

Pretty safe bet for any bankrollers out there. Maybe TFT will use some of that Hollywood writer's big contribution. Heh heh. Ain't the free market beautiful sometimes?

12. I believe I first heard it on some tv talk show.
...
Smith, 50, a former political reporter for the Houston Chronicle and the Houston Post, worked for a number of Democratic candidates over the past decade. In this election cycle, he has worked with MoveOn.org. With a grant from MoveOn, Smith set up DriveDemocracy.org, which initially fought GOP efforts to draw new lines for Texas congressional districts. Smith has raised money for Texans for Truth using both DriveDemocracy's donor lists and MoveOn.org's lists of Texas contributors.

Smith said that, as of yesterday, he had raised $400,000 from 5,800 donors, all small contributions except for one $100,000 gift from Hollywood producer-writer Dan O'Keefe. The group's ad consists entirely of former Air National Guardsman Bob Mintz -- who was in the same unit Bush was assigned to in Alabama -- talking on camera. Mintz says on camera that he sought out Bush but could never find him in the relatively small unit.

13. Dan's a very close friend of mine...
...but I didn't know that this was public knowledge.

Guess he's getting a little bit more media attention than he expected.
