The great thing about these Bush National Guard Service stories is that they always put a picture up like the one above. What readers will remember is not the story itself, but the photo will be seared in their memory forever.
Connell said her late husband would be "turning over in his grave to know that a document such as this would be used against a fellow guardsman," and she is "sick" and "angry" that his name is "being battled back and forth on television." Her late husband was a fan of the young Bush, said Connell, who remarried after her husband died in 1984. "I know for a fact that this young man was an excellent aviator, an excellent person to be in the Guard, and he was very happy to have him become a member of the 111th."
I like this woman. Defending her husband against the media appropriating him for their own agenda, defending the Guard, and defending our honorable President.
They have screwed themselves more than they know. This may forever settle the attacks against Bush's service AND the national Guard, unfairly smeared just because Bush was a member.
I don't care what anyone says or thinks about President Bush, the fact of the matter is that everyone knows it takes a hell of a lot of skill to fly one of those birds! Kerry didn't even know how to carry his gun properly!
Not only that, but they'll make the comparison between the picture of an optimistic looking George W. Bush, fighter pilot, in the cockpit of his airplane, and a scowling John Kerry in his fatigues giving testimony to Congress trashing Vets upon his return from Vietnam.
I'm LOVING this!
