B*, 1988: "done better in Vietnam if we'd called up the Guard"!!!!!
Advertisements [?]
CSPAN caller today mentioned interview with chimpsquat during the 88 convention, when defending Dan Quayle's NatGuard service, said THESE words....

How much do you love the internet.....btw.......took me twenty seconds to find this

Viewers then saw this exchange from NBC’s live convention coverage on August 17, 1988:
Connie Chung: "The problem, though, would be is if, indeed, he made several phone calls or some people made phone calls on his behalf to get him into the National Guard. I mean, did that happen to you? Were you..."
George W. Bush cut her off: "No. I don’t think so. But in those days, people were going into the service all different branches. And if you want to go into the National Guard, I guess sometimes people make calls. I don’t see anything wrong with, a matter of fact I’m glad he served his country. And serving in the National Guard is serving in the military. They probably should have called the National Guard up in those days. Maybe we’d have done better in Vietnam."
WE???????????

WE?????????????

this from a guy who had trouble deciding whether to shoot a hole in his ear with a shotgun, going to Canada, or joining the guard?

when are the media going to start weaving some of these quotes together, in order to get a clear picture of just HOW cowardly and deceitful this creep is? No news here, but COME on, media! do some work!

link, from a site that seems to be more concerned with lack of negative coverage of dems, btw
