Bush's Military Records Fail to Dispel AWOL Charges
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Some of President Bush's missing Air National Guard records during the Vietnam War years, previously said to be destroyed, turned up on Friday but offered no new evidence to dispel charges by Democrats that he was absent without leave.

His whereabouts during his service as a pilot in the Texas Air National Guard in the United States during the Vietnam War have become an election-year issue. Bush's Democratic presidential challenger, John Kerry, is a decorated Vietnam War veteran.

The Pentagon, which had announced two weeks ago that the payroll records had been accidentally destroyed, blamed a clerical error for previous failure to find them.

4. But didn't they parade around a guy who claimed he served with Bush?

Will the press corps point out the WH'S FOUR YEARS OF COVERUP, LIES, and THE PRODUCTION OF A WITNESS WHO LIED FOR THEM?

WHO ALL WAS PART OF THE COVERUP?

5. Prez Carter said....
Not only did Kerry enlist, he showed up...

Prez Clinton said...Kerry, a visionary and profoundly curious about the world...

There you go, curious george you aint, and didn't show up for duty, and per Teresa, you don't read or care to.

7. How fucking awful is it that
CNN didn't mention this once today, but showed Kerry in his stupid NASA suit 200 times.

Fucking media.
