(2004-09-09) -- CBS reporter Dan Rather today released the text of a recently discovered email from then-Lt. George W. Bush's Air National Guard commanding officer which casts more doubt upon the military service of the man who would become the 43rd President of the United States.
The revelation of the email comes just hours after questions were raised about the authenticity of typewritten memos from the same officer, shown yesterday by Mr. Rather on 60 Minutes.
According to the previously unseen email message sent in May 1972 by squadron commander Jerry Killian, Lt. Bush phoned Col. Killian because "his internet connection was on the fritz and he couldn't IM me."
Lt. Bush apparently wanted to talk about "how he can get out of coming to drill from now through November."
According to Col. Killian's email, the young Bush wanted to go to Alabama to work as webmaster for a Republican candidate's website.
Mr. Rather said the authenticity of the 32-year-old email has been confirmed by several Nigerian officials who specialize in electronic funds transfer by email.
BWAAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Did they have e-mail back then?
Its a parody..:) pretty funny!!!
LOL!
Hey, it could have happened. The first email was sent in 1971.
Pretty funny!
Probably found it on an early verison of a Google search engine called Giggle.
I doubt national guard units would have had state of the art technology. They don't have it now do they.
They didn't have IM then.
The funny thing is that if the news came on and gave this report, I bet most people wouldn't even catch it.
wait a second...the father of the internet didnt come around until what 1975?!? DAmn that was quick!!!
I wonder when the email was sent, 1776?
And somewhere in NYC, Hillary is rubbing her
hands together, chuckling maniacally, and
repeating the word "... excellent ..."
No. Al Gore didn't invent the internet until after he entered Congress, sometime after 1976. </sarcasm>
Oh boy. My face is red. Should have know.
I'm not much for rules, but couldn't we all agree to some kind of "Scrappleface Alert" for titles. I see the headlines and get all wound up until I see the Scrappleface attribution. These folks are too good at writing these headlines.
LOL !!
EMAIL??????? hahahahaha I used military typewriters from 1979-1994 (USNR)....computers and email, hahahahaha didn't come around to me until sometime in 80's. I hated those typewriters. I don't believe this BS for one minute.
No doubt it was a HOTMAIL account.
Breaking news ping. ;-)
I've been in contact with these Nigerians, and they are sharp!
They've asked me not to reveal their names, but I should be getting my first million dollar check from them next week!
I can't believe they selected me!!
