...the GOP biddy that they dredged up yesterday, Jean Sullivan, said that back then she had to contact the guard to complain about the rumors that were buzzing 'round about George being a slacker and a drunk. Sullivan was the head of the Alabama GOP and a member of the electoral college in 2000.
SHE SAID that people were talking negatively about George in Alabama THEN.
From an AP story:
Some within the Alabama Guard were resentful because Bush was from Texas and was spending only the minimum amount of required time on duty, said Sullivan. "It was just some idiots," said Sullivan.
Mad about rumors surrounding Bush, whose father was U.N. ambassador at the time, Sullivan said she called a Guard commander to explain that Bush was doing all he could while working on the campaign.
"The man called me back and apologized. I thought it was gone forever," said Sullivan. "And then I started hearing all this stuff a couple of weeks ago."
Josh Marshall has the story.
