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?

Russert is NOT even a good reporter. He just repeats poll numbers and DNC talking points and DC rumors. I would not worry about the National Guard story at all. It is just a sign of desperation.

I, too, am dumbfounded. And it shows what we perceived during the interview is indeed the case. Russert is going to "report" relying on DNC talking points and facts be damned.

What a travesty.

Stone asked him something else but I was so shocked by his pronouncing this issue as still alive that I can't remember what it was. Then they moved on to other stories. I moved on from NBC.
