I have mixed feelings on this one. It is fair to take the media to task for playing up Cheney’s deferment while ignoring Biden’s deferment. But as someone who has no problem with Cheney’s deferment, Rush Limbaugh’s medical deferment, or President Bush’s military record, I would be doing the same thing as the lame stream media were I to question Biden’s medical deferment.
I think each deferrment needs to be looked at on its own merits. They truly are not all the same. I lived through that era, joined in 1970, and I get a gut feel when I read some of the backgrounds on deferrments.
This one sounds hokey. After multiple educational deferrments another deferrment for asthma for an athlete. The year is 1968. I’m telling you that my bullshit meter is pegged all the way into the red.
