COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Former President George H.W. Bush on Wednesday called a recent CBS News account of his son's military service an "insidious" attempt to malign the president.Although he endured negative coverage during his own presidency, the elder Bush said he has a hard time dealing with critical media coverage of his son.
"This disgraceful thing with CBS, trying to malign our son's service as a jet pilot, was insidious," Bush told about 300 Republican supporters at a private ballroom on the city's east side.
CBS and anchor Dan Rather apologized Monday for a "60 Minutes" segment that quoted documents, purported to be from one of Bush's commanders in the Texas Air National Guard, saying George W. Bush did not take a medical exam as ordered and that the commander felt pressured to sugarcoat an evaluation of then-1st Lt. Bush.
Rather said the network could not determine if the memos were authentic.

Good For You President Bush!!.....why in the world would anyone think it doesnt hurt him and Mrs Bush...
I read somewhere yesterday that the libs tried to trash this President Bush on his heroic flight saying he let the other men die etc....they will stoop to anything, true or not, as we have seen with the memos and that goofball that was "unimpeachable" ... they ALL talked to that nut and encouraged him to 'get his story out'......
I despise libs DESPISE THEM, but Im MAD at the idiots who are supporting Kerry...it overwhelms me that anyone would fall of this liberal elite stooge enuff that there is actually a FIGHT for this re-election.....BLAH
""This disgraceful thing with CBS, trying to malign our son's service as a jet pilot, was insidious,"
And it was incompetent.
Hell hath no fury of Mama Bush when it comes to mistreating her family.
I remember once years ago when Rather ticked off a taxi cab driver and good old Dan got taken for a drive!
I meant a ride. LOL
George Sr. (Bush 41)., if you would have shown this much life way back when, we wouldn't have had Clinton. But, God bless you for standing up for your great son against the evil media slants and slurs.
"insidious" ??? This bureaucratic double-speak fails to make a clear, easy to understand point.
President Bush (41) is/has been a class act....As a little
sailor on the carrier -USS San Jacinto (CVL-30) I recall some of the reports of pilots shot down....Ensign Bush
was one of them. I never met him but have that vicarious
connection that we both were out there...his veracity and
patriotism is well known and the ones trying to disparage
his son are making a big mistake..we'll work harder to get
President Bush (43) reelected....Jake

Payback time for all the televised interviews Blather did with GHW. I saw clips just this morning on MSNBC and Blather was rude, rude, rude.
"And I hope that W will file a lawsuit on November 3! "
I am thinking more along the lines of CBS losing press credentials for five years as well as having their FCC license suspended for one year.
That's a good punishment.
Call the KITTIES!! We got a troll!! And a public school edumacated one too. Go crawl, fool. Vote for bin Laden's man, ass.
Cabby Confrontation
"A cabby picked up Dan Rather, the CBS correspondent, at Chicago's O'Hare Airport yesterday, and things began to happen. According to a spokesman for the Chicago police, the cab driver refused to go where he was told and instead 'drove wildly through the streets' with Mr. Rather shouting and gesturing for help."
--The New York Times, November 11, 1980.
"I wonder what all the hullabaloo is about GW Bush not getting his physical while in the national guard ? It's not that he didn't do certain things while in the guard it is that he was in the guard at all ; In stead of in Nam like Mr. Kerry ? I know many young men of privilege avoided going in harms way only Mr. Kerry didn't ? I don't believe I want a coward and liar as my president for four more years. He has done enough damage now."
You are not from around these parts are ya? I read your message and I am a bit confused. I think you meant that "I don't believe I want a coward and liar as my Socialist candidate for President. He has done enough damage now."
President GW Bush is NOT a liar. kerry on the other hand lied about his medals, lied about Christmas in Cambodia, and he joined the stinkin' Naval Reservers NOT the Navy. Get your facts straight. Are you a troll?
I love the smell of ozone...
another one bites the dust.
This is Susan Estrich talking point.....
It's not that he didn't do certain things while in the guard it is that he was in the guard at all ; In stead of in Nam like Mr. Kerry ? I know many young men of privilege avoided going in harms way only Mr. Kerry didn't ?
Kerry volunteered for the Navy RESERVES----not regular Navy.....but a Troll wouldn't know the difference!
I don't believe I want a coward and liar as my president for four more years. He has done enough damage now.
Needed to correct your last statement since a clear majority of the likely voting public agree that Kerry has done all of this!
So........Why don't you go have a good BWAHAHAHAHAHA.......... then go put your head back up your @ss so you can finish reading your copy of "The Communist Manifesto"................Troll!
