Media Continues to Ignore Bush's Military Record by ilsundal at 9:19 am EST, Nov 21, 2002 |
Once again, Veterans Day went by without anybody in the mainstream media pointing out that our Commander in Chief is a draft dodger. It is well documented that George W. Bush's daddy pulled some strings and got him into the Texas Air National Guard. Then he got himself transferred to Alabama, where he was destined to serve with distinction... except, he never showed up. Basically, Bush decided to ditch his military duties for about a year. And yet, for some reason, he was never charged with desertion. Not to mention the fact that Bush was grounded for several months after refusing to submit to a routine physical exam in 1972. [One possible motive: the exam would have included a compulsory drug test.] |

The other humorous piece to this story is that the conservative right generally attacks the mainstream media for it's "liberal" bias. Not that I was ever horribly impressed by Clinton, but he sure looks good after a couple years of Dubya. |
