Others have said that the military term is a "medical", and not a physical examination.
Wow..just got the implication of your comments..that's nuclear, if true
Why would they need to do that? If they have done what you said and did a document switch for production values then that raises even more questions, and wil feed into the credibility of there report.
"IF"...yes...its over.
We better be damned sure on this one people.
Bump!
Yes.
From the Washington Post this morning:
Documents obtained by the CBS News program "60 Minutes" shed new light on one of the most controversial episodes in Bush's military service, when he abruptly stopped flying and moved from Texas to Alabama to work on a political campaign. The documents include a memo from Bush's squadron commander, Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian, ordering Bush "to be suspended from flight status for failure to perform" to U.S. Air Force and National Guard standards and failure to take his annual physical "as ordered."
The new documents surfaced as the Bush administration released for the first time the president's personal flight logs, which have been the focus of repeated archival searches and Freedom of Information Act requests dating to the 2000 presidential campaign. The logs show that Bush stopped flying in April 1972 after accumulating more than 570 hours of flight time between 1969 and 1972, much of it on an F-102 interceptor jet.

A spokeswoman for "60 Minutes," Kelli Edwards, declined to say exactly how the new documents were obtained other than that CBS News understood they had been taken from Killian's "personal office file." In addition to the order to Bush to report for a physical, the documents include various memos from Killian describing his conversations with Bush and other National Guard officers about Bush's attempts to secure a transfer to Alabama. Killian died in 1984.
There is a dimestore photoshop filter for that, I am just being careful here.
Trust But Verify!
I am just saying if I was Production Assistant on 60 minuts asked to come up with "Memo Graphics" if after I scanned them and found them to be illegible, I may retype the verbiage save, photoshop out the signature, and meet my deadline.

Hmmm. I haven't seen the images, but wasn't the executive also limited to one font size? The "th" in the memo looks smaller to me.
Though superscripting was possible, wasn't it still limited to only superscripting normal-sized text?
All covered right here on FR last night starting at about 8:30 p.m.
The side-by-side comparison is compelling, but look at the date at the top. The 18 is misaligned. Is it possible that parts of the letter are genuine and parts cut and pasted?
Let's demand a look at the originals.
I don’t know. My mom was a secretary at White Sands from the 50’s up into the 80’s.
I don’t know what year it was – at least in the late 70’s – that she had an IBM Selectric that used the different little balls to change the font/type size. I know they had special balls that had all the weird fractions and symbols and stuff. Know that for a fact because I routinely got in trouble for screwing around with the typewriter and switching out the balls and stuff…
That, I believe, is the case. However, the WH strategy may simply be to blow the whole thing off. If they dispute it, the story stays in the headlines. If they don't dispute it, the media has to come up with something else in order to keep the thing going.
Thanks. That must mean that they were not among the documents that the White House verified.
why do I smell a CLINTON plant???????
I was thinking Clinton too!
These are NOT government documents.
Sorry I didn't watch 60 minutes, why would anyone give any credence to "personal files". In fact I have a whole drawer full of personal files that tell me John Kerry did Kitty Kelly to promote this book.

To try to "finish off" Bush?
Take a well-deserved bow because it was YOU who first raised the possibility of forgery.
Hmmm, do you think the MSM will admit they got suckered? Is the MSM going to report bad news about itself? Or will there be a quiet little retraction on page 12b?
Haley's conclusions are not well informed. The IBM "Executive" typewriter, introduced in the 1940's and carried through to the 1970's, used proportional fonts. Also, while we haven't uncovered conclusive evidence yet, it is certainly possible that a "superscript th" would appear as a single character on the typewriter.
