Hi YaYa. I saw Calhoun talking to Campbell Brown (yesterday?) and she looked ticked at his appearance on the scene and demanded to know where anybody else was that could corroborate him and she cited some of those who had said they didn't recall seeing Lt. Bush thought they were assigned to that base.
Calhoun pointed out that most of those regularly assigned to the base flew during the week and Guard drills were held on the weekend, so that would account for some not seeing him. Then he informed her that many of the men were in their 40's and 50's back then and are now DEAD.
Perhaps add in the political resentment of some live guys who remember but aren't rushing to the press to talk about it, and there you go.
And I like your word "demonic". I also like what one poster said the other day: The media is acting like there's an unsolved murder from back then and Bush needs to come up with an alibi.
"The media is acting like there's an unsolved murder from back then and Bush needs to come up with an alibi." Briliant analogy!!!!
After watching Chris Mathews and his roundtable show, you have to know, their ignorance of all the evidence now available, is intentional.
But one good thing has to come out of this. When the media starts it's self-absorbed navel gazing, it will have to be painfully obvious to everyone that this National Guard episode provided our media with their BBC - NYTimes moment of history. Like the BBC, like The NYTimes, they've been outted. Credibility lost forever!!
When David Gregory said, well now the real issue won't be whether Bush was in Alabama doing his duty, it will be comparing Kerry's Viet Nam to Bush's NG, you realize the media has moved that proverbial goal post to it's final fall-back position.
