B*, 1988: "done better in Vietnam if we'd called up the Guard"!!!!!

[buycitgo]

CSPAN caller today mentioned interview with chimpsquat during the 88 convention, when defending Dan Quayle's NatGuard service, said THESE words....

How much do you love the internet.....btw.......took me twenty seconds to find this

Viewers then saw this exchange from NBC’s live convention coverage on August 17, 1988:
Connie Chung: "The problem, though, would be is if, indeed, he made several phone calls or some people made phone calls on his behalf to get him into the National Guard. I mean, did that happen to you? Were you..."
George W. Bush cut her off: "No. I don’t think so. But in those days, people were going into the service all different branches. And if you want to go into the National Guard, I guess sometimes people make calls. I don’t see anything wrong with, a matter of fact I’m glad he served his country. And serving in the National Guard is serving in the military. They probably should have called the National Guard up in those days. Maybe we’d have done better in Vietnam." WE???????????

WE?????????????

this from a guy who had trouble deciding whether to shoot a hole in his ear with a shotgun, going to Canada, or joining the guard?

when are the media going to start weaving some of these quotes together, in order to get a clear picture of just HOW cowardly and deceitful this creep is? No news here, but COME on, media! do some work!

link, from a site that seems to be more concerned with lack of negative coverage of dems, btw

check next post for a good laugh from this bogus site

1. this lame-ass site, in trying to push media bias against pugs......

goes a long way towards proving the opposite, including revealing the exquisite bias of two of the BIGGEST media hos, who inadvertently reveal just how craven they are

some fun; catch the twisted logic, showing the opposite of what the dipwad site avers:

1988 vs 1992 and 1999. On CNN’s Late Edition Wolf Blitzer asked former New York Times reporter Steve Roberts about Bush’s military record. Roberts revealed a bit about himself in replying:
"Of course he got favorable treatment, his father was a Congressman, I don't think there's any doubt about that. On the other hand a lot of other people got favorable treatment too, a lot of other people did not do nearly as much as he did. I got favorable treatment. I had a friend who ran my draft board, who told me exactly what I needed to do to stay out. A lot of people of my generation did exactly that. And I think that he did something honorable, at least he actually joined the military, and I don't think this is a problem for him."

huh? "honorable?" after you said what you just said right before that, you WEASEL?

Blitzer suggested: "You know, and you can't compare, the so-called controversy if there is any controversy, from the L.A. Times story to what happened eight years ago when the President before New Hampshire, the current President, the then Governor of Arkansas, who disclosed that he evaded the draft and then lied about it. And that still didn't stop him from getting the nomination and becoming President."

Roberts pointed out: "You've got to remember something else which is that a couple of generations or two ago, military service was almost an absolute requirement for a national politician. And, but that is different now, well less than half of the members of Congress are veterans themselves. You have a whole generation, not only who didn't serve but whose children are not serving, re-enlistment rates in the military are way down. I think it is far less important and I think a lot of Americans, as I say, like me, got out of the draft and are not going to hold it against George Bush."

I bet Dan Quayle wishes he could have benefitted from such media understanding, or shall we say compassion.

But contrary to Blitzer’s suggestion that the media pounced on Clinton in 1992, they went quite easy on him compared to how they treated Quayle.

they then cite some garbage about how much worse coverage Quayle got than did Clinton......sure thing, jagoffs.

is this Brent Bozell's baby, BTW? yep....shoulda known

nice to see, though, that THEY provided that nice quote about sending the GUARD to Nam, though. Too bad Georgie couldn't GO, ha, cause he CHECKED the WRONG BOX, and picked the WRONG plane to fly!

2. In the immortal words of Bugs Bunny, "What a maroon!"

They probably should have called the National Guard up in those days. Maybe we’d have done better in Vietnam.

And where was George? No doubt he would've hustled right on down to the armory the instant he received word his unit was being called up! Yeah, right. Only if it was payday, and even then there would be doubt he'd stick around...

"Uh, fellas, I gotta go stick this in the bank. Really. Uh, tell the C.O. I'll be right back. Really..."

I still say if direct deposit was available then, George W. Bush would've NEVER shown up.

3. don't forget this quote

"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."

linked lots of places, but ignored so far, by the handmaidens, as has been the first one.

How COME?

4. "Maybe we’d have done better in Vietnam."

This flat out pisses me off. Tell me one battle that the US lost in Vietnam. Name just one. The politicians went back on our word to the vietnamese people our soldiers didn't. Fuck this lying piece of shit. "Maybe we would have done better in Vietnam." Our soldiers fought bravely every single time they were engaged and they were never defeated. Maybe temporary setbacks but Never Defeated It was lying ass Politicians that didn't do well not soldiers. Fuck Him

5. Wow! How repulsive!

Keep this quote alive!

[buycitgo]

6. got that! and what about this quote, from same link:

And if you want to go into the National Guard, I guess sometimes people make calls. I don’t see anything wrong with, a matter of fact I’m glad he served his country

so is he admitting, in his typically fractured syntax, that calls were made for HIM.....well, we know that, but he seems to be catching himself in midsentence; not wanting to admit it.

how transparent can you GET?

7. Dobbs says they've released them all now

so how does he explain the quote in the HEADER?

huh?

can't SCRUB that one, dub yuh.

OR the shotgunning your ear/running off to Canada option.

when are the handmaidens going to confront scotty with that one?
