The cad!

[goldstategop]

A father expressing pride in his child? Now there's the makings of a full-blown scandal! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[clee1]

And I am totally distraught at the notion that a AF General would write to a US CONGRESSMAN to say how well his son was doing.

CongressCritters scare the hell out of the military, for a multitude of reasons.

JFKs response was a desperate attempt to provoke a backlash against the President. The Rats concern is only for themselves and to heck with the country. JFK is not an honorable man.

That Marx line about history repeating itself as farce is starting to make sense to me now.

If this is the best they've got, the DNC and their enablers in the MSM are on their way to mumbling to themselves on street corners about the metal plates the CIA implanted in their heads.

LOL, What should have Pappy Bush done???? Should he have said.... "My son is much like John Kerry.... He thinks at every level, you are all war criminals?

[lodi90]

This is just more good news for Bush. Anything that keeps Vietnam in the news will remind voters of Genghis Kerry's many questionable actions. Nothing that comes out in a memo will be worse than Kerry's speech to Congress.

Heck, my Father contacted a Priest when I was 22 and tried to arrange an exorcism

[ladyinred]

This is certainly no scandal. President 41 is well known for his letters, and even if he weren't what is the big deal? This stuff is smoke and mirrors to keep the Swift Boats, and Kerry's treason out of the media and the minds of voters.

The democrats own polling must show they are seriously on the ropes if they have to try and twist this into something bad.

Hannity said today they are like a boxer who is losing bad on points. They are starting to swing wildly hoping that some punch will connect. So, as Hannity said, we can expect this making big deals out of trivia to continue. Plus, the ridiculous attempts to harm President Bush will continue. I just hope they stay this silly and don't get anything with traction (meaning something that strikes a chord with the public).

It is highly probable that Bush was given some special treatment - as is every child of a public official - then and now. What is the big deal? Bush may have even dabbled in some things he should not have when he was a young - as many have. However, I would say he has matured and become a fine, God fearing, man today that I trust with this country. He learned from his mistakes and changed.

John Kerry never grew up. He is still a childish, America bashing, boy wanting to be president. My apologies to any New Englander's here, but only from MA could such a person get into public office.

[Prime Choice]

I'm sure this whole thing seems scandalous to the Leftists. Since it is extremely doubtful that their parents are proud of them, they just cannot comprehend that anyone else's father would be proud of their son's accomplishments.

[Semper Paratus]

When you find that your digging yourself into a hole the first thing to do is to stop digging.

The 'rats response is "Big Dig II".

[Cboldt]

What is it with this media bunch and tar-babies? Not complaining, but gee-whiz!

[leprechaun9]

How does McAwful feel about the treatment that John McLame received because of the lineage of Admirals in his family?

[OpusatFR]

This is a real loser.

CNN had some bimboi (masculine of bimbette, bimbo) read the letter last night, I suppose for dramatic intent, and he looked highly perturbed as though this was a new low in his career.

Oh! The Horror! A Congressman writing a letter regarding his son to the CO!

Will this never stop?

[Right_in_Virginia]

Retired Col. Walter Staudt of Texas, commander of Bush's unit in Houston, told ABC News, "I never pressured anybody about George Bush because I had no reason to."

I wish this last line of the article had been the first.

< Retired Col. Walter Staudt of Texas, commander of Bush's unit in Houston, told ABC News, "I never pressured anybody about George Bush because I had no reason to." >

At the very end of the article, of course.

[sd-joe]

Stop the presses. Stop the presses.

Demoncrats reveal awful truth:
"Bush was a straight arrow"

LOL.

[Godfollow]

My son is a fortunate son... I'll do what I can to give him as much advantage in life as possible... that includes discipline, unwavering love and guiding him in the direction that his God given talents lead him. I'm sorry for those in the world who's parents have failed them, but you can't grudge someone who has it better than you because his parents did what they could to secure the best position possible from which to achieve.

What these democrats are doing is no different from what they always do, create class envy to stir up hatred as the motivator. The problem for them is that once you've stirred up the hatred of the masses, the masses become so blinded by their hatred that clear and rational thinking gets thrown out the window... witness Dan Rather and CBS.
