It was a FREEPER who asked those stupid question in 9/10 WH briefing
In Tuesday's White House briefing, some real clinkers were asked of the press secretary. Turns out that the questioner is a FREEPER!

The topic was the missing year of Bush's military service. From out of the blue comes this exchange:

JEFF GANNON (Talon News): Since there have been so many questions about what the President was doing over 30 years ago, what is it that he did after his honorable discharge from the National Guard?

Did he make speeches alongside Jane Fonda, denouncing America's racist war in Vietnam?

Did he testify before Congress that American troops committed war crimes in Vietnam?

And did he throw somebody else's medals at the White House to protest a war America was still fighting?

What was he doing after he was honorably discharged?

MR. McCLELLAN: We've already commented on some of his views relating back to that period the other day. And, obviously, this was a time period also when he was going to get his MBA at Harvard. But the President was certainly proud to serve in the National Guard.

He posted his *brave* exchange on freerepublic for the adoring sheeple there. Here, he boasts about the reaction of the REAL journalists:

To: dead
I call it the "gasp" factor. The media stars were apoplectic when I let loose with that! If you didn't see it, catch it on C-SPAN.com later.

2. you can see
....his "insider" views of real White House correspondents by reading his posts on freerepublic.com. He mentions Terry Moran, Ann Compton, April, Helen Thomas, etc. etc. etc. He's a real blowhard and a hack.

3. More of the "napalm of truth, and the shrapnel of freedom" or
something, I guess.

There was some other delusional idiot talking like that last week... wish I could find the link.

4. "What was he doing after he was honorably discharged?"
ouch ... that's a heavy question


I just hope this isn't all a Rove random act of distraction ... the Media is always pleased to help the White House's "message" ... so, they pick up the bait to build the scenario; you know ... can the enablers be trusted ... I hope some of them have integrity and it will cause them rise above their corporate trappings and do the 'Paul Revere' thing ...

4the estate: come back to 'the tennis court' ...

7. I recall a relationship with the bin Laden family - it invovled money
but maybe the media should check that out, since my memory is getting old - and we know the Bush Saudi friends are great guys.
