[From The Deer Stand]

Why wasn't Bush's National Guard service that big a deal when he ran against Gore? I don't remember all the flak back in 2000.

"Why wasn't Bush's National Guard service that big a deal when he ran against Gore? I don't remember all the flak back in 2000."

The first stories about this came out then. Walter Robinson's (the first) came out as soon as Bush was the nominee. Maybe they had to softpedal it a little, since Gore's service record his a helluva lot more suspect.

But also I've been told that the Dems were saving it for a last minute punch, then they found out about the Bush DUI form thirty years earlier, and went with that instead.

There was flak back then.

Gads. MSNBC infobabe asking Mike Allen about "these documents which may show the president was NOT AWOL"

Where is there any indication he ever was AWOL, you stupid bimbo, except in the fevered rantings of democrats?!

I can't stand the way the media is carrying the water for the dems on this. It is really very wrong what they are doing here.
