'Doonesbury' offers $10,000 for proof Bush served

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The frequently irreverent "Doonesbury" comic strip is offering $10,000 to anyone who can show that President Bush served in the Alabama Air National Guard.

"That's right -- we're offering $10,000 cash to anyone who can prove George W. Bush fulfilled his Guard duty in Alabama," Wednesday's strip said. "So if you served with Mr. Bush -- even if only in the officers' club -- we want to hear from you right now!"

Readers are referred to the Web site doonesbury.com, where a Witness Registration Form asks for online testimony. The site says the prize money is being underwritten by Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau. "Thanks to Bush's massive tax cuts for people who don't need them, GBT is flush."

The hitch is the winner will not actually receive the reward. Instead the Web site says the cash will be donated in the winner's name to the United Service Organization (USO), which entertains American troops.

1. Caution is a good policy, but I think he can safely add a few zeros to the

prize.

2. Great Doonesbury and I love

the reward - cuts out the self interested liars as well as rewarding those who do serve in an interesting way.

but this has been on the Doonesbury site 4 over a week.

I emailed the link 2 ret military friends last week.

Lame-ass CNN!
