I am now very upset. Dateline just showed excerpts of the interview. It just ended. Afterward Stone Phillips spoke with Tim Russert, who had on his furrowed brow, worried look.

Stone asked about the National Guard issue and asked if that was the end. Russert said NO. That "the president has offered his papers" and democrats will be going over them.

WHAT is he talking about?! Russert is saying (or implying) here that some papers have not been made public before which is completely contrary to what President Bush pointed out...that these papers have been available for perusal for years, and in fact have been reviewed time and time again.

Russert assured Stone that this issue is not done.

This is outrageous.

Old Friend, I'm pinging you as you made that comment earlier about Jennings bringing it up at the debate. I happen to agree with you.

This is crap! Those papers were released in 1994 when he ran for Governor against Ma Richards and the same crap was brought up by the DemocRATs. They were public information in 2000.

How many people have paystubs from the late 60's/early 70's. I know I don't.

Rush Limbaugh better think twice before he ever praises Russert for his interviews again! It was the absolute most biased interview that I have witnessed. You would have thought that Russert was the Prosecutor and Pres Bush was the defendent the way Russert handled the interview. Russert was nothing more than a Clinton DemocRAT political hack asking questions. Sounds like he is very proud of himself.

Didn't have much respect for Russert before this and now have absolutely zero, zip, nada.

During the 200 election I did some extra drill time working in the State national Guard public affairs office in Austin. There were two THOUSAND FOIA requests for President Bush's 201 File (official military record of service). NOTHING was found! Not by the national media and not by the Austin American Statesman. The #1 Bush hating newspaper in the WORLD! ANd Russert says it's NOT a dead issue?

I'm doumbfounded.

The Boston Globe first reported this AWOL fairy tale and it got traction during the election. The parent newspaper of the Globe, the NY TIMES did a piece a year later and came to the conclusion that the Globe piece was full of holes and errors and want a factual and truthful story.

And Russert says it's STILL not over?

Methinks Timmy has potatoes where his brains should be.

"That "the president has offered his papers" and democrats will be going over them."

I am as furious as you about this issue. What do these lowlifes expect the President to do? No matter how many records and how many people from his Texas ANG days confirm that he did his duty and was honorably discharged, they continue to spread these slander and lies about President Bush.

I never imagined that Peter Jennings would show more sense than Tim Russert. It's infuriating to see a good man get slandered by the same bunch of people who defended a bona fide draft dodger at one time.

The moment the words were out of Jennngs mouth I knew they were a set up. Sent by the DNC

The Kerry camp is now urging it's followers to infiltrate conservative web sites and spread lies about the president.

We see evidence of that right here on FR and need to send the rats back into their holes rather than welcome their discource here on FR.
