Cat fight!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They foisted this arsewipe on us for decades and now they want to disown him. They knew damn well what he was up to.
They just could not go down with him, after such a BLATANT lie. All the previous lies were so subtle
No, after the documents used were demonstrated to be an obvious forgery.
Whatever folks may not like about W Bush, the whole underlying theme that Bush joined the Texas National Air Guard because he was a coward is incredibly weak.
The argument assumes a couple factual errors:
Error #1) Texas Air National Guard members were never deployed to Vietnam.
Error #2) the assignment W accepted was “safe” duty.
#1) Under the “Palace Guard” program, at the time Bush signed on to the TANG, pilots in TANG were on active duty deployment flying combat missions in Vietnam.
#2) Bush was trained to fly the F-102, which was the aircraft the Texas Air Nat Guard flew in Vietnam.
#3) The F-102 was a notoriously dangerous aircraft. Thirty percent of them crashed, burned on the runway or were otherwise destroyed. In the book “The Right Stuff” Tom Wolfe devotes a couple pages to the inordinate dangers faced by F-102 pilots, and the extreme difficulties in controlling their aircraft. While W was training in the F-102, it was determined that they were not effective in the Vietnam theatre and their use was discontinued. Shortly thereafter, the plane was retired because of its horrible safety record.
This issue likely had a little-known effect of forcing moderate Democrat Dick Gephart out of the race for President. While the CBS story ran in the 2004 election cycle, the issue of W’s Air National Guard service was raised early and loudly in the 2000 election. It was said that Bush joined TANG to avoid Vietnam and only served some 200-some-odd days and therefore reflected badly on his character. Dick Gephart of Missouri (”the milkman’s son”) dropped out of the campaign in the Spring. He had joined the Air National Guard at the same time as Bush, did no hazardous duty, and served fewer than half the days as George Bush. While this was only lightly reported, due to JournalismWorld’s slavish devotion to double standards, Gephart may well have realized that eventually what goes around comes around, his story would get out and the collateral damage of the attacks on Bush would perforce have wounded his candidacy mortally as well.
Robert Redford is still alive?
Money talks and bullsh!t walks.
CBS and scruples should never be used in the same sentence.
The Truth hurts?
The movie was based on Mapes’ book, so of course she’s going to turn herself into the victim.....and of course, the film will follow suit.
Granted the self-serving nature of CBS’s motives, it is notable that CBS and not Fox is boycotting Pravda (which is Russian for “Truth”).
The correct title for this movie would be more like "Evasion of Truth."
There’s no pravda in the Izvestia, and there’s no izvestia in the Pravda.
