Have we ever seen Kerry's grades from Yale?

The AP should pay for the cost of going to court, judge, courtroom, janitor, court reporter, doughnuts, coffee, Air National Guard,etc for frivolous stuff like this.

...and I doubt they will this time either. They just want it in the headlines that they're trying to get them to put the idea in people's heads that there's something to hide.

I keep posting this and it keeps being relevant: "Elite Media" realizes their beloved Democrats have gone and fielded the goofiest Presidential candidate in memory. There is nothing left for them to do but spin wildly and lie often and hope that no one notices.

I want to see who wrote up Hanoi John for his medals and I want to see Theresa's tax records. so I can see how much it costs her to buy lawyers for Al Quaeda.

Politics aside, as a former military person, I am totally against personal military records being released without the written consent of the individual involved.

If the AP wants to look up some juicy incriminating dirt they should sue to open the Clinton files that were sealed for 50 years back in '98. I'm sure they're a lot more interesting (and truthful) than Bill's book.

Here we go AGAIN?

Hey, AP, why don't you pay attention to John Kerry's record and what the Swift Vets are saying about him these days.

Hm?

The AP can go pound sand.

After embarrassing Jack Ryan, the media is now going for the big prize.

From the AP website:

14. How do I contact a reporter or editor?

Send an email to info@ ap.org and it will be forwarded to the reporter or editor.

As another poster noted, what about suing to see ALL of Kerry's service records??

I'm not even asking the AP to go after Kerry's service records (yet, if they're going to set precedent here...that's a different kettle..), but there are *contemporary* news conferences going on by the Swift Vets that knew Kerry when and have something to say and the AP ignores them.

I have to say, as aggravating and as unbelievable the bias this exposes, I am pleased that they are dropping all pretense and are exposed as the outrageous enemies of truth and right that they are.

"....it is unclear from the record what duties he performed...."

Unh, I think he was flying an F-104, you know, a jet plane. His duties consisted of taking the necessary training and staying proficient. In the event of a national emergency, he may have been called upon to serve in the capacity of a fighter-interceptor pilot, in pursuit of intercontinental bombers coming from the Soviet Union.

A threat, incidentally, which never materialized. Because, at the time, we were ready to respond to it.

I want details about the alleged notation in Kerry's military records "requires constant supervision".

This ought to be headline news.

Anyone who knows how recommendatons and evaluations are written up on officers knows that this is a career killer.

It still should be. I can see the ad focusing in on this comment with a red circle around it, fade to black and the words... "requires constant supervision"..."who supervises John Kerry now?"

Could be they're looking for an issue for next Monday. This'll be the Sun Morn Talk show launch of the latest attack....a reprise of an old attack.

They also seem to bring the Pres.'s Guard record up when something negative hits the air about Kerry's military service.

Maybe something negative toward Kerry is scheduled to hit.

They are suing to get access to something that was already released? Good grief.

The Associated Press sued the Pentagon and the Air Force on Tuesday, seeking access to all records of George W. Bush's military service during the Vietnam War.

I'm sure that the AP is going after Kerry's records (including FBI) as I write this.

This is undoubtedly the cutting issue of election 2004. ;-)

Bush stopped flying F-102s in April of 1972, before he went to Alabama.
