FOX just reported "a bunch of internet amatures figured it out in a few days". More like hours.
I've been so pumped about this it isn't funny. David Asman didn't mention FR but he did give credit to people on the internet.
JOHN KERRY SERVED IN VIETNAM!!
:-)
"Staudt has obviously pressured Hodges more about Bush. I'm having trouble running interference and doing my job."
Staudt is General Walter B. "Buck" Staudt, who happened to have retired in 1972. So how was he putting pressure on Jerry Killian if he wasn't even still in the service?
This information is found in the February 15, 2004 issue of The L.A. Times. Article entitled: "What did Bush Do in the Guard?" by Richard A. Serrano, Staff Writer.
"Bush's application, as well as his commission, were handled by then-Col. Walter B. "Buck" Staudt, who said, "Nobody did anything for him…. There was no … influence on his behalf. Neither his daddy nor anybody else got him into the Guard." Staudt, who retired in 1972 as a brigadier general, said Bush was enrolled quickly because there was a demand for pilot candidates."
This was discovered by a person named Amar Sarwal and was originally posted on the Powerline website: http://www.powerlineblog.com/
You took the words right out of my mouth. On it's face, the address looks phony, but wouldn't it be great if it was proven to be!!!!!!
Could memo-gate become bigger than Watergate? Betcha booty granny.
They got the documents from the Kerry campaign. They simply can't reveal that.
i don't think a commander would keep a document entitled CYA in the command's files...each command undergoes annual inspections and you can imagine what an inspector would say about a file entilted CYA...lol
Do you recall an article either last week or the week before, when Hillary said the election would be decided because of a surprise late in the game? I think she might have mentioned "October," but I don't recall exactly. I wonder if this was it, and someone jumped the gun. Certainly, this is right up the Clinton Dirty Tricks Squad's alley!
I can't say it enough, How GOOD it feels to have a free press! At last! God, Almighty! A free press again at last!
In the pre-Internet, "Fairness Doctrine" dark days CBS employees signed off "news" broadcast with, "That's the way it is."
Millions knew it was NOT the way it is. But all we could do was discuss it among our friends (in total isolation) and wait for limited circulation periodicals for the rest of the story. It we were lucky to live in a city with a conservative newspaper that helped.
IMO, what describes the return of a free press best is the countless exclamations heard on every talk radio station in the the early days (late 1980s early 1990s), "I didn't know other people knew that! I thought I was the only one!"
Now we are performing our duties as responsible, informed citizens of the United States of America. That's the way it must be.
Never let leftist ideologues, et al. get away with it again. These rights have been defended with blood for over two hundred years. We must do the same, our rights, their blood.
Oops...I found another thread that helps explain this.
Now that you mention it, I do vaguely remember something like that, although it seems like it was quite a while back. I will see if I can locate it.
If I were Kerry, I would find a nice secure bunker and stay there. Now that his campaign is capsized, the only way the Democrats can win is by knocking him off and replacing him with another candidate.
It just keeps getting better.
Whenever I see that quote of Hitlery's about an Oct. surprise, I have to wonder why such a savvy politician as her heinous would spill the beans (albeit vaguely) like that.
