Something to make you go Hmmm.
Yesterday morning while watching the Today show, they trotted out Lt. Col John B "Bill" Calhoun. His sole purpose in being there was to confirm that he had seen George W. Bush reporting for duty as scheduled in the Alabama Air National Guard. Now since the AANG flew F-111s and Bushboy was trained only to fly F102s, Mr. Calhoun said that Bush was assigned to do lots of paperwork, which is why he was rarely if ever seen on base.

The interesting thing I found about this little blurb was that it was being filmed from Daytona Beach Fl. I did a little digging<http://preview.ussearch.com/preview/preview.jsp?isnew=true&fc=blue&TID=&srcAdID=6030003038&sourceid=&searchZip=32119&searchState=FL&searchCity=Daytona+Beach&searchLName=Calhoun&searchStreet=&searchFName=John> and found that more likely than not our Mr. Calhoun doesn't live in Daytona Beach Fl. So why is he there doing interviews with NBC and CNN<http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/02/13/elec04.prez.bush.texas.records/>. Could it have anything to do with the fact that his old 'buddy" George is going to be down there today to watch the Daytona 500? Is this Mr. Calhoun's payoff for being the first witness to show up saying he remembers old Georgie from back in the good old days at AANG? Or is he simply down there by coincidence?

Just something to make you go Hmmmmm!

1. Calhoun lives in Atlanta.
He owns some kind of company that makes coatings to insulate wires (or some such biz).

IMHO, he's just thrown water onto a grease fire by pretending to validate the Bush* ANG lies.

When Bush was a teen ager he did teen age things.
Oh I forgot he was out of one of the best schools in the East and Best colleges in the World and was past 25. I guess we better tell the Republicans this news.They think he was a teen ager when he was in the National Guard.

3. Well, We all know
how honest and straight forward this administration is. That should help with the answer.
