Some light shed on Bush Guard service -Hundreds of files released; Dems say questions remain***The documents provided no obvious explanation for why Bush neglected to take a physical examination in 1972, resulting in loss of his status as a pilot.

Democrats said Friday the issue of Bush's Guard service had not been laid to rest.

"Each revelation of material from the Bush White House has raised more questions than it has answered. It remains to be seen if these newest documents will provide any answers," said Democratic National Committee spokeswoman Debra DeShong.

After sputtering as a political issue in 2000, the questions about Bush's Guard duty were resurrected recently by harsh charges from political opponents like Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe. He accused Bush of being absent without leave from the Guard during the period when he transferred from Texas to Alabama.

The Vietnam War combat hero record of Bush's likely Democratic election rival, U.S. Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, adds to the political mix.

The president's opponents focus on 1972, when Bush took a job with the campaign of Winton "Red" Blount.*** [and the article prceeds to go into great detail and speculation.]

Kerry denies affair: 'It's untrue. Period' (and the Chronicle drops it)***John Kerry, making campaign rounds Friday in Madison, Wis., denied having had an extramarital affair.

Asked about the report by Internet Web site operator Matt Drudge, Kerry told reporters on his campaign: "I just deny it categorically. It's rumor. It's untrue. Period."

After denying the report, Kerry added: "And that's the last time I intend to."

Drudge, who broke the Monica Lewinsky scandal involving President Clinton, on Thursday said Kerry had had a two-year relationship, beginning in early 2001, with an unidentified young woman who had since left the country.

Meanwhile, the Democratic presidential front-runner gained more ground Friday with the promise of an endorsement by the AFL-CIO, the support of a former rival and fresh polls pointing toward victory in next week's Wisconsin primary.***

You know, I think the thing the dems and the news media are missing here- the crucial point- is that most people have already made up their mind about this issue. No amount of digging and exposing is going to change it.

People's opinions on it will vary obviously.

You'll have those partisan dems that see it as evidence of treason or whatever and nothing is ever going to change that.

Others have already decided- so what if he did? And nothing is going to change that.

What will happen though if the media drags this out to ugly proportions is people are going to get very angry at the dems and take it out on them at the polls.

Regardless of whether Dubya might have skipped a few drills or not- he never got out there and protested against his fellow servicemen like Kerry did. He never called them murderers and war criminals like Kerry did. He did chum it up with Jane Fonda.

Since the 1970s, Mr. Gough has run the place that was started by his parents, Abe and Bernice Gough, in 1950. Through the years, there were several Goff's locations, but only the original Lovers Lane store remains. Currently, he's in a legal battle with his mother over the business, but that's another story.

Over the years, Mr. Gough has been known to refuse to serve male customers with long hair. And to those who are lucky enough to get him to serve up their order, he usually growls a curt "dismissed" after handing them the food. And woe is the customer who asks for a drink in a to-go sack. The drink is promptly poured into a paper sack, and customers are left holding the leaky bag.

Ludicrous. If there was in truth any record cleansing two questions have to be asked:

Would the TANG be so reckless as to not invest in a paper shredder instead of just tossing copies in the trash?

By 1997, wouldn't all the records be on file in multiple computers making any attempt at "cleansing" a multy-party conspiracy?

Logic itself indicates this is a "disgruntled former employee" type charge, without merit.

By the way CW, have you ever been "gruntled", whatever the heck that is?

So now key 'Rats and their minions in the press are amplifying and relying on unhinged, conspiracy mongering, border line psychotics.

Oh, wait, they've always done that.

Hehehe. One of the Bush haters in the press -- James Moore, coauthor of Bush's Brain, about how Bush is a creature of the e-vile king maker Karl Rove -- has a new book coming out, Bush's War for Re-election, that prominently and credulously features Burkett's insane ravings. Midst the press revival of this story, and preceding it's widespread debunking by only hours, Moore has defended Burkett's reputation as "impeccable". Way to go, Moore! May you and fellow 'Rat quislings in the press continue to make prominent asses of yourselves!
