Further proof of AWOL revealed!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

<snip from misleader.org>

As first reported by the Dallas Morning News, retired National Guard Lt. Col. Bill Burkett said that, in 1997, Joe Allbaugh (chief of staff for then-Governor Bush) told the National Guard chief to get the Bush file and make certain "there's not anything there that will embarrass the governor." Burkett said that a few days later at Camp Mabry in Austin, he "saw Mr. Bush's file and documents from it discarded in a trash can."

While the White House has claimed the attack is baseless, Burkett's credibility was bolstered today after the New York Times reported that he made his complaint known right after the incident. In 1998, he sent a letter to a member of the Texas State Senate saying Bush and his aides improperly reviewed the file to "make sure nothing will embarrass the governor during his re-election campaign." Burkett repeated in interviews this week that Bush and his aides "ordered Guard officials to remove damaging information from Mr. Bush's military personnel files."

4. Duh!

If the Burkett story got legs, Shrub would be finished. It won't.

[Brian Sweat]

7. The media will find away to rebury this story.

It is not a new story. We have known about this since well before the 2000 election. The media chose to ignore it then, they will rebury it today. They love a good story, but they don't want to kill the goose that is laying he golden eggs.

[Terwilliger]

8. they cancelled the press briefing?? BWWAAAAAHAHAHAHAAH

just shows HOW BAD this story is to them!

[Brian Sweat]

10. I have to admit, that is pretty bad.

I would have loved to see Scotty try to handle those questions.

"She can't take anymore question Mr. President. She's gonna blow."

12. Monday's PC was a classic!

Worth watching over and over again, since the admin will NEVER hold another one as long as there are questions.
Bush* doesn't answer questions, so why should the rest of them? We should be GLAD they are there to run our goverment! (sarcasm- of course)

5. Quick! Get Janet Jackon's Boob out here!

What? problems for the chimp? Quick--Get JJ on the phone and get her boob out front again! Can't have the unwashed masses wondering what shrub was actually DOING when he wasn't showing up for his guard detail!

GACK! Selective outrage by the conservatives just makes me ill.

9. Janet's Boob is old news.

That is why Matt Sludge is trying to start a rumor about Kerry.

11. I think a lot of people owe Michael Moore an apology.

Not that I expect them to own up.
