Records Show Bush Skipped Kiwanis Breakfast in 1972

Washington, DC - CBS News is reporting that records obtained by a Freedom of Information Act request indicate that President George W. Bush skipped the annual Houston Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast on January 25, 1972. This occurred at a time in which the future President was a member of the Executive Board of the Houston Kiwanis. "George Bush was AWOL in 1972," said Democrat challenger John Kerry last night during a campaign rally in Massachusetts, a key battleground state in Kerry's attempt to top Walter Mondale's 1984 electoral vote tally. "While I was throwing away my medals and meeting with the Viet Cong in Paris, George W. Bush was skipping out on his Kiwanis obligations. Well, the American people won't stand for this. And when I am President I promise that I'll show up to work every day in order to undermine the efforts of our brave men and women in the Armed Forces and to give aid and comfort to the enemy."

In related news, the Politburo of the People's Republic of Vietnam announced today that it is renaming the city of Hue to John Kerry City in honor of the senator's efforts to promote the victory of international communism.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I'll take a stack of steaming-hot flapjacks, butter and syrup, sausage, homefries, biscuits and gravy, and a couple of glasses of cold whole milk. Reminds me of the saturday morning Boy Scout Pancake Breakfasts back in the early 60s.

It's not much sillier than the real spin the RATS are pushing: "Bush is worse than Hitler. How do we know this? Well he missed a scheduled physical in 1972."

Geez, I think GWB oughta be shot for this. This is the kind of thing that makes the whole world hate the U.S. It's no wonder we have global warming.

I am so sick of this crap. Everyone knows that before 1980 the Houston Kiwanis held their Pancake Breakfast on Friday mornings. January 25, 1972 was a Tuesday.

The only time this rule did not apply was in 74 when the Super Bowl was at Rice Stadium and screwed up the entire month.

The way to phrase it is "Bush is Hitler because he missed a doctor's appointment in 1972". THAT is sillier.

Now that I have re-read the original post, I am convinced that CBS has forged this document.

I've heard CBS is about to break a story that several Kroger employees are going to reveal that in 1977, George Bush went through the express lane with more than 15 items, and they have the real receipts as proof. I don't think the pajamahadeen will be able to bail him out of this one.

Good God! Anybody that didn't get this and had to have (Humor) placed next to it in order to get it would have to be as naive as your average Kerry supporter.

I have also heard rumors that GW didn't floss as much as he should have when he was in college, and Barbara Bush had to tell him to clean his room when he was a kid.

Devastating.

BobS slinks away into the crowd, in embarrassment red.

"I wouldn't have just gone to ONE of the Kiwanis meetings George W. Bush missed...I would have gone to almost ALL of the Kiwanis meetings George W. Bush missed!"

Worse than that, people say everytime GW lined up for an inspection, he was told to get a haircut and shine his boots!
