I donno.... Paging John Macaint... Please pick up the curtousy phone. Hello?????
How about a reward for anyone who can remember seeing an IBM Selectric Composer at the Texas Guard in 1972?
The Kerry campaign's new logotype
Memories fade, people die, some people lie, all is irrevelant.
GWB has a DD214, Honorable Discharge.
End of discussion.
BTW, I joined the USMC Reserves, and served two years, before graduating college, and going on active duty for seven years. At the time, failure to meet your reserve obligations got you placed immediately into an active duty status and an almost automatic trip to Viet Nam. But I was a PFC, not a Lieutenant/Pilot.
The dems down here play dirty...They've been at this since Bush ran for Governor (and beat the dem darling, Ann Richards). I really did not take this as a blow because I've been through it so long here in Texas...but CBS using fraudulent documents with a dead man's signature on them and refusing to believe anyone who served in the Guard and supports Bush has put this front and center..
Ben Barnes' credibility is a laugher, the family refutes the sentiment and says the man didn't type memos, Hodges said he was told they were hand written, now thinks they are frauds, Killians man in charge of personnel doesn't believe they are authentic...Sigh
Don't forget his dentist.
May end up being the only good thing--and it was quite inadvertent--Dan Rather ever did.
Lt Col John "Bill" Calhoun served with Bush in Alabama.

Someone should give his testimony some legs.
They are likely to end up in court with some Guardsman demanding dough.<<< ...Stupid is....as stupid does.....
Where's my freaking reward, by the way?
"do Dan and Chrissy say they weren't serving in Bush's plane, so their accusations aren't valid?"
LoL! That's right!
The swift boats on JFK's boat's bumpers could "know nothing, NOOOTHING" about Kerry.
Only the people ON HIS BOAT.
Of course it is a ridiculous argument, but it would be fun to throw it back in their faces. ;)
Humor may be as powerful a weapon as evidence in this "game".
"The people giving this reward will just dismiss anyone who saw Bush because they have no "proof.""
They can just use the same rationale CBS did, when given a chance by LTC Killigan's son to talk to other sources and vet their story: "we know about those people, but they are for Bush."
Being "for Bush" automatically disqualifies anyone as an "objective witness" according to the rules of this game, so the only people they CAN put on tv, listen to, etc., HAVE TO BE anti-Bush.
"Someone should give his testimony some legs."
Indeed. He blows their claim out of the water.
But they will just run the ad anyway, truth doesn't matter. Driving down Bush's numbers is the ONLY thing that matters to them.
My Dad served with W too. He just got back from Iraq a few months ago. And as Michael Medved properly pointed out, W's "band of brothers" is the over one-hundred thousand soldiers who regard him highly as their CINC.
