I keep hearing this over and over again.

Wouldn't Ann Richards have used the files to beat Bush if they had been there? It's not like she isn't part of the rough and tumble Texas politics.

She certainly isn't above dirty tricks herself, drunk or sober.

This whole thing is blowing up in the RATS face

Every single piece of this TANG story is falling apart. Why anyone continues to discuss the substance of the charges in lieu of the real story about an obvious attempt to influence a presidential election with a massive hoax (complete with the complicity of a major news organization) is beyond me...

If Bush were going to have something done with his records, he would have replaced the documents with bland documents saying he met all the requirements. Come on! If he had that kind of access to the records, why leave holes that the morons would exploit?

Thought you would like Bill Burkett's e-mail address:

BBurkett16@aol.com

From this blog in which he actually replied to some criticism in August:

There is also an article about Burkett in the Houston Chronicle from last Feb. It is no longer accessable at their site without subscription, but a FReeper posted it here at post # 44.

In an essay Burkett wrote for an anti-Bush Web site in March 2003, he claimed he was sent to Panama, where he contracted a fatal disease, as retaliation by the Texas Guard after "refusing to alter personnel records of George W. Bush."

But in a telephone interview Friday, he backed off the claim that he was ordered to falsify Bush's records.

"That statement was not accurate, that is overstated," he said.(snip)

All of those directly involved (in allegedly cleansing Bush's file)-- Allbaugh, Conn, James and Scribner -- emphatically deny Burkett's charges. (snip)

Details of Burkett's story rang false to some Guard officials.

For one thing, Texas Guard officials said no personnel records were ever stored at the museum. Also, even if the records had been scoured in 1997, it would have been too late. The bulk of the material in Bush's Guard records had been transferred to a Colorado facility where records are permanently stored and copied on microfilm, Guard officials said. Some Bush Guard records emerged from that facility this week.
