CNN News Bimbos already ?? Bush's NG records
Dana Bash and Darrin Kagen, talking about the impending release of Bush's National Guard pay records. After twelve years of searching, they suddenly pop up after the MTP interview. They're trying to toe the CNN line, but both of them, especially Kagen, were like..."Huh? Does he really expect anyone to buy this shit?"

Let's hope they examine the docs a little closer. Remember, Bush was a kid who probably had a lot of experience doctoring his old grade-school report cards. These pay records oughta be a HOOT.

But I wanna know..and they better damn well ask...WHERE WERE THE RECORDS FOR 12 YEARS, especially after Chimpy said he doubted they even existed. And now...*POOF*...we found 'em, and they exonerate me! Is America this stupid that we're actually going to swallow this bullshit?

2. She said "shit" on air?
Go Darrin!

Unfortunately they will buy it probably. There are some very good document tampering experts out there though who can tell if it's not the real thing. But I'm sure bush has experts who are making the documents too. So who knows.

5. Daryn didn't say "shit..."
However, she did question why it's taken 10 years to find the records in question. I have to admit, Daryn's been doing a pretty good job hitting the repugs' hypocrisy (a few weeks ago, she put a pug in his place who cried foul about the Hitler/Bush comparison ad - she told him that the Cleland/Osama ad was on the same par).

Go Daryn!

3. yes, they are that stupid
if they werent:
the 2000 election wouldnt have been close enough to steal

evangelical christians would be laughed out of every room they played to

survivor, fear factor, american idol, etc would have 3 viewers

country 'music' would rarely be heard

SUVs would only be used by the people that need them (cutting their presence 99.9%)

there would be more pot smokers than alcohol users

6. thank you for your reference to these stupid f***ing "reality shows"
I find it very dismaying that people could actually be entertained by such crap. We are assured of much more crap when people absolutely dig watching MY BIG FAT OBNOXIOUS FIANCEE. :puke:

7. They're SCAMMING. The "Disciplinary Unit" Needs to Get to the Media
I hope some DUer is plugged in to a key media figure to get this "disciplinary unit" thing out there.

*********QUOTE******
You know the mysterious torn document? It's torn no longer. And it ain't a Texas Air National Guard document:


http://www.calpundit.com/archives/003220.html

As it turns out, though, we have traded one mystery for another. It's now clear that the document is genuine, but what exactly does it tell us? In particular:


The first listed date is October 29, not November 29 as we had theorized before. But George Bush was still in Alabama in October. What exactly was he getting attendance credit for?


This is neither a Texas Air National Guard document nor an Alabama document. What is it?


The answer, as you can see from the top line, is that it is an ARF document, as is this record from 1973

...


ARF is a "paper unit" based in Denver that requires no drills and no attendance. For active guard members it is disciplinary because ARF members can theoretically be called up for active duty in the regular military, although this obviously never happened to George Bush.

To make a long story short, Bush apparently blew off drills beginning in May 1972, failed to show up for his physical, and was then grounded and transferred to ARF as a disciplinary measure.

8. Darrin is in my hall of news bimbos fame above Maria
Shriver and Connie Chung. No I don't like Maria Shriver. I think she got her job like Bush got his, through nepotism, not ability, hard work and education. She always is injecting her RW bias into her reporting. It's very unprofessional.
