1972 Email Casts Doubt on Bush Guard Service
(2004-09-09) -- CBS reporter Dan Rather today released the text of a recently discovered email from then-Lt. George W. Bush's Air National Guard commanding officer which casts more doubt upon the military service of the man who would become the 43rd President of the United States.
The revelation of the email comes just hours after questions were raised about the authenticity of typewritten memos from the same officer, shown yesterday by Mr. Rather on 60 Minutes.
According to the previously unseen email message sent in May 1972 by squadron commander Jerry Killian, Lt. Bush phoned Col. Killian because "his internet connection was on the fritz and he couldn't IM me."
Lt. Bush apparently wanted to talk about "how he can get out of coming to drill from now through November."
According to Col. Killian's email, the young Bush wanted to go to Alabama to work as webmaster for a Republican candidate's website.
Mr. Rather said the authenticity of the 32-year-old email has been confirmed by several Nigerian officials who specialize in electronic funds transfer by email.
LOL
I hope someone sends this to CBS and Rather.
I assume this email was generated by the 1971 version of Outlook Express...
I have the email. It was forwarded to me by mistake. It's a bombshell. Bush used his daddy's influence to avoid fighting in the Battle of Gettysburg.
Mr. Rather said the authenticity of the 32-year-old email has been confirmed by several Nigerian officials who specialize in electronic funds transfer by email.
That is probably the best line of the piece! LOL!
What a crock, everyone knows that Gordon Liddy was the 'Bama GOP's webmaster in 1972
As I recall, it was only the RCA Spectra 70 that had OE at the time.
40+% would believe this story as they read it while drinking their kool-aide. And all 40+% would be liberal democrats....
Thank God that Al Bore got the internet invented in time for that email...probably change the course of history!!
Wait till they find the long lost those old musty CD's with copies of Bush's 1972 Cell Phone Conversations stored in mp3 format...
That's hilarious...
Hey, this proves that Al Gore didn't invent the Internet!!! ;-)
That's great! LOL!!
Hillary.
Unleash the tin-foil.
Al Gore invented the e-mail.
We are all so thankfull that Al Gore invented the internet.
Good one!
In 1972 was there email as we know it today. I can remember timesharing but there were no Apples or PC's only mini computers.
I understand there were two JPEG attachments also!
