Now that's Skerry
He and that Secretary have partisan motivations. I love how CBS is going to push Killian's secretary's story but you can be sure they won't mention her statement how Bush "was selected, not elected". It's all hearsay and we're not supposed to challenge them! We are just supposed to take what they say, their producing fraudulant documents and say everything is ok and we can believe them. Not going to happen. Killian's widow and son need to be heard from again because the media will attempt to push this secretary's story as well as Maurice Udell and others who contradict these vicious people.
I wonder what kind of deferrment he had during Vietnam, 2-S or 4-F?
Now ain't that just special. Burkett goes to the phone book to get a lawyer and who would have thunk it. He chose one with these credentials.
That would be interesting to know, wouldn't it? Mrs PD
Hey, as long as they want to make an issue out of it, let's get it ALL out in the open.
So Burkett, living near Amarillo, just happens to find a Democrat union activist lawyer, based in San Antonio, to represent him. I smell a DNC introduction and pro bono work here. And for those who don't know, any Democrats left in Texas are committed dead enders. Democrats seldom win any statewide offices. Republicans control almost everything in Texas. There aren't any conservatives left in the Democrat party in Texas.
