AWOL Memorial Bust ---pix->>>
Edited on Thu Feb-09-06 12:50 PM by Stephanie


Unbelievable. This country has officially lost its mind.




The National Guard Museum unveils a bronze bust of U.S. President George W. Bush commemorating his service in the Texas Air National Guard, in Washington, February 9, 2006. The bust will join other presidential likeneses in the statuary gallery of The National Guard Memorial. REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst

4. I can't read the text on the bust. Is it the results of his dental exam?

13. Please
http://www.realchange.org/bushjr.htm

Most people have heard something about George W. Bush pulling strings to get into the Texas Air Guard. But the press, while reporting lots of details, has done a poor job of communicating how consistently and shamelessly Bush Jr. sought and received favorable treatment while he avoided Vietnam.

Furthermore, his story has repeatedly changed -- he has weaseled like Clinton at his worst and even flat-out lied when explaining what happened.

To put it in perspective, here are 9 ways Bush got favored treatment in the service due to his political connections (he was then son of a Congressman and grandson of a former Senator):
1) He got into the Guard by pulling strings, avoiding the year and a half waiting list;
2) He took a 2-month vacation in Florida after just 8 weeks, (1 of 3 leaves), to work on a political campaign;
3) Bush skipped Officer Candidate School and got a special commission as a 2nd Lieutenant, without qualifications;
4) He was assigned to a safe plane (being phased out of active service), the F-102 ;
5) During flight school, he was flown on a government jet to Washington for a date with President Nixon's daughter Tricia ;
6) Bush got an illegal transfer (later overruled) to a base with no work;
7) He simply didn't show up for a YEAR, with no penalty;
8) George W. skipped all his medical exams after they started drug tests, and was removed from flight status;
9) He ended his service 10 months early to go to Harvard Business School;

19. Wow! I can't believe it. That's a kick in the pants to all the people
who did serve their country honorably. I agree with the earlier poster who said that bust doesn't even look like Junior.

27. Really truly laughing out loud at that one.
Don't get paranoid, it's a DU habit of mine, I checked your profile. I LOVE NEW HOPE! Haven't been up there in a few years though. Reminds me of kayaks, great shops and some fun bars and cafes.

28. Great - "honor his service" with bad art.
The bronze doesn't remotely resemble him. I wonder how much of our tax dollars went to the 3rd rate artist who created the bust.

37. He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp...
or to have his eyes gouged-out, and his elbows broken!
To have his knee-caps split and his body burned away.
Or his limbs all hacked and mangled...
