And with a straight face says we shouldn't be partisan
D'oh! Just checking my grammer... I meant "remind the FCC they're here to serve." Silly me... Well I have an excuse, English is my first language. :) Peace.
Bless you; then you can come back and tell us what we've gotten wrong.
Uh....sure.....that's why he hid out in that school where you can just float on through. You know the one, Harvard Business School
My bad. I didn't know that reposts were not allowed. Next time I'll link to it. However, just for the record I have seen identical posts in several threads.
Once upon a time .. they use to try and hide their bias
Those days are gone
Did the secretary say on 60 Minutes that the memos were fake, or just that she didn't type them? There's a difference between the two.
Free Republic impeached bill clinton, I was there, I saw it.
WE have the power to DESTROY CBS News.
Lets focus on that.
Carl Berstein was a hero. To see him get down and slither on the floor for the Democrats is just disgusting. Has Satan taken up residence at the DNC? Is Kerry a real life Damien? I expect to see their heads spinning around any moment now. This is frightening!
I have a major issue. There is only one person who can determine whether or not Bush, as an officer, followed orders and whether or not Bush was a qualified fighter interceptor pilot - his reporting Commanding Officer. Those are judgments that are solely his to make - and not the CO's chief typist. She is waaayyyy out of line making judgement about things she cannot know about.
Blather is becoming daily, more of a joke than he was the day before,
honestly, the moment i heard this, i thought 'pathetic'
next they'll be consorting with the psychic friends network to "be getting a 'read'in' from miss jackie"
Agreed, and back on topic
Most people in Texas and Alabama during this time frame were DEMOCRATS.
For all we know, Rather is holding this general in reserve. So be careful what you wish for.
What did I miss?
Or just told her it was a long walk back to Texas.
My head exploding
Drudge:
CBS Guard Documents Traced to Texas Kinko's...
WASH POST: Documents allegedly written by deceased officer that raised questions about Bush's service with Texas National Guard bore markings showing they had been faxed to CBS News from a Kinko's copy shop in Abilene, Texas... Developing...
I still believe, before this is over the left will say that one of W's surrogates made the memos. To hide more damaging info in the supposed real memos. I believe the old lady alluded to it. She was obviously coached on this point of view. I believe Rather has made comments similar to this.
Bush Guard Service, The True Story
Written by Gordon Bloyer

(excerpt)
The following is from a letter by Col. William Campenni Ret. published in the Washington Times.
There was one big exception to this abusive use of the Guard to avoid the draft, and that was for those who wanted to fly, as pilots or crew members. Because of the training required, signing up for this duty meant up to 2½½ years of active duty for training alone, plus a high probability of mobilization. A fighter-pilot candidate selected by the Guard (such as Lt. Bush and me) would be spending the next two years on active duty going through basic training (six weeks), flight training (one year), survival training (two weeks) and combat crew training for his aircraft (six to nine months), followed by local checkout (up to three more months) before he was even deemed combat-ready. Because the draft was just two years, you sure weren't getting out of duty being an Air Guard pilot. If the unit to which you were going back was an F-100, you were mobilized for Vietnam. Avoiding service? Yeah, tell that to those guys. The Bush critics do not comprehend the dangers of fighter aviation at any time or place, in Vietnam or at home, when they say other such pilots were risking their lives or even dying while Lt. Bush was in Texas. Our Texas ANG unit lost several planes right there in Houston during Lt. Bush's tenure, with fatalities. Just strapping on one of those obsolescing F-102s was risking one's life.
