Bush served 46 days in Texas during 1973, but he didn't fly. Why not?

[buycitgo]

EDIT to reflect post #1

Six days in January

Two days in April

Five days in May

Fourteen days in June

Nineteen days in July

so he served two stretches of two weeks or more (but never longer than seven days in a row). wouldn't that leave plenty of time to get back in the saddle?

why didn't he take that flight physical during either of those two periods?

when is somebody, either a dem surrogate, or a media handmaiden going to get specific about that, and the widespread knowledge that the DOD instituted random drug testing just before monkeyboy was scheduled for his annual flight physical.

When is somebody going to call him on that hilarious "explanation" of his about his personal doc (feelgood?) not being available to 'take care' of said exam?

and when is somebody going to start echo-chambering THIS astounding quote from 1994 (Houston Chronicle), via David Corn, via Michael Moore:

“I was not prepared to shoot my eardrum out with a shotgun in order to get a deferment. Nor was I willing to go to Canada. So I chose to better myself by learning how to fly airplanes.”

1. USA Today had a good graphic of his payroll records

but they weren't online when I checked.

So I ended up putting one together http://www.wischepp.com/AWOLBush.htm


Graphics tell a story much better!!

It might tell a better story with his whole service time.

6. Nice job!

We need that in a format that we can send around to people. That's a very good way of showing how much he missed. Thanks!

7. I am refining it further.

I have it in RTF format at

2. Cocaine.

Bush has forced me to relax the old "innocent until proven guilty" mantra. Everytime a new scandal arises, I assume that he is guilty. Hopefully I can get over this. I don't like the way it makes me judge people.

3. you can't fly if you're high...it's true...the commercial told me so!

:)

This situation is so fucking obvious to anyone with half a brain.

4. but neither the media nor the squeamdems are pushing this at all

I don't get it.

are the dems sitting back and waiting for the media to start pushing points they haven't, thinking they'll start to do their job?

WTF is WRONG with them.

they did absolutely NOTHING in 2000, despite their protestations to the negative. a few stories in papers like the Globe.

NOT one WORD on ABC, CBS, NBC national news

I repeat:

NOT

ONE

WORD.

NOT

ONE!!!!!

5. Because he was told he'd be pResident

"when pigs fly." Maybe it just sounded like too much effort.

8. We should let the media do it.

If the media follows up on the military records, it would be viewed as more factual. If our candidate, or any Dem hammers too hard, it will just b4e viewed as a political ploy.

It sure seems like a lot of the media, cable at least, have been pushing it hard. David ??? the CNN WH correspondant, has been hammering that WH Press Secretary for 2 days now, and speaking very plainly on the different news broadcasts. GO DAVID!

9. BECAUSE THE COKED-UP F***WIT KNEW HE'D FLUNKTHE PISS TEST

SO HE SKIPPED THE PHYSICAL.
