Since when did the WH say Bush didn't perform service those 6 months?

Watching CNN and the head says the White House has acknowledged Bush didn't perform service during those months. Uh, when did THAT come out? Source?

1. That's the first time I've heard that admission...

up till now it was payroll records showing certain months and dental work records and the shrub gloating over an honorable discharge.

2. Me too, in fact, went back to read this from Scotty

The President spent some of that time in Texas. He was a member of the Texas Air National Guard, and he was given permission, on a temporary basis, to perform equivalent duty while he was in Alabama. And he performed that duty. And the payroll records, that I think are very important for the public to have, clearly reflect that he served.

3. It's called moving the goalpost.

These guys are spreading so much bullshit. Good thing about spreading that much merde is that they can't keep the stories straight.

The White House says Bush attended enough training during other months in 1972 to fulfill his service commitment for that year.

Hmm. So this appears to be saying, who cares about those missing 6 months since he had enough training in 1972 overall. By ommission, an admission that he wasn't there for those 6 months.

BUT it still doesn't address the question, then, if the White House is saying, yeah, he wasn't there for 6 months, then where the fool was he? And doesn't that still make him Absent Without Leave, particularly if they were expecting him to show up after transfer?

5. AP story

all they do is recycle WH press releases

from there they get spread into the rest of the media

they have their pets at AP, like Yost and Fournier.

I heard a discussion about this on WGN.

they're WELL known for this inside the media

AFAIC, they're MUCH worse than Faux, just as is CNN

I heard Fournier call the Clintons HILLBILLIES on WGN radio, during the 2000 campaign

I called in and asked the hosts and guests if they knew who Eliza May was, and they didn't, and, when I reminded them who she was, and how hypocritical the media were for not covering this story, with so many parallels to Paula Jones, they said it wouldn't become an issue!

6. this morning

on the local news, the time he 'missed' he 'made up the next year'.
