White House: Guard Never Disciplined Bush

By PETE YOST, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) never was disciplined while serving in the Texas Air National Guard, never failed a physical and never asked his father or family friends for help to get him into the guard during the Vietnam War, the White House said Wednesday.

The White House answers came in response to a dozen questions submitted by The Associated Press in light of new records detailing Bush's Guard service and allegations that have surfaced this election season.

The Texas Air National Guard stripped Bush of his pilot status in August 1972 for failing to take the annual medical exam required of all pilots. Former Air National Guard officials say it was rare for a pilot to skip his physical exam.

2. Me Too, Who Is Even Talking About It... Unless More Documents Are Coming?

3. Since the WH only lies we have a admission of guilt.

He WAS disciplined and DID fail to take his medical and DID recieve preferential treatment.
In Chimpspeak we must believe the opposite.

4. not did he FAIL a physical but did he FAIL to TAKE a physical?

Methinks there is a lot of parsing goin on here.

7. I noticed that.

Its just one in an unbroken string of failures. But yes, we want to avoid even TALKING about failing to show up for a flight physical where illeagal drug use would be detected. We won't want to be shown to have FAILINGS that indicate character flaws.

Whisteling past the grave yard, if you ask me.

8. You said it - what a bunch of crappola

Yeah, he never failed the damned PHYSICAL because he was too drunk and paranoid from cocaine use to get his sorry ass to the PHYSICAL.

5. They think they can say anything now that

CBS has been bitch slapped. Hope they get over cocky and get called on it.

6. Well woopedy-fucking-do

Not to be too blunt, but who gives a rat's ass?

(Question directed at White House, not you air napkin :) ).

9. Of course he didn't ask for special permission to join the TANG

Poppy told him, "You're going in if I have to have you tied up and delivered to the office. I'm sick and tired of your embarrassing shit and the sooner I get your ass somewhere where they'll do something about you, the better off everyone will be."

Unfortunately, Poppy's plan didn't work out. He was still an embarrassment.

10. And this does not prove Bush's privileged status HOW?

You'd think the elementary illogic of this would be apparent to everyone.

A) Spoiled Rich Brat gets into Texas Air National Guard when he shouldn't have because of powerful family influence.
B) Spoiled Rich Brat behaves like spoiled rich brat because he knows powerful family influence will protect him
C) Texas Air National Guard - which has already demonstrated its complete lack of integrity by admitting Spoiled Rich Brat when they shouldn't have - is now going to do a complete 180 and suddenly get religion and discipline Spoiled Rich Brat? Thus openly admitting that they should never have admitted him in first place? Don't make me laugh.
