Doubts raised on Bush accuser:Key witness disputes charge by Guard retiree that files were purged

For at least six years, a retired Texas National Guard officer has maintained that President Bush's record as a member of the Guard was purged of potentially embarrassing material at the behest of high-ranking Bush aides laying the groundwork for Bush's 2000 run for the presidency.

This story will be dead by next week, and W will have squandered political capital to show records and proof of service. He should have completely ignored te allegations. Just another example of the DNC hurling shiite against a wall and seeing what sticks. And Bush and co, stepped right in it-they should have told anyone who was asking to p*ss up a rope..

[beckysueb]

Go investigate John Kerry! Lots more juicy gossip there.

[ambrose]

Agreed.

And I don't expect the treasonous DemoRat filth or their media shills like Chris Matthews, to back off or apologize either... they'll just quietly drop the matter.

Scum.

[ambrose]

Chris Matthews was almost breathless in his delight in interviewing this Burkett clown.. yet Matthews failed to disclose Burkett's long history as a Bush-hating crackpot.

[beckysueb]

I agree. DU says they aren't going to let this drop. As a matter of fact, they're worried that the Kerry scandal may put the AWOL scandal in the background since they worked so hard to keep it going.

Yep. I think I'll forward this to him. I wonder if CNN is still going to interview this Bozo. and a ping to others

[ambrose]

I wonder if the Sheeples are even paying attention to this?

[mewzilla]

But the Globe still sits on all its Kerry info.

All the news that's fit to spike...

[ambrose]

If Kerry does an open ended Gary Hart denial, the hunt will be on...

[mewzilla]

Even if he admits, the hunt will still be on. Does anyone really think Ketchup Boy's only done this once? Or that wenching is all he's done?

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Chris Matthews was almost ready to service Lt. Col. Burkett in Monica Lewinsky fashion last night... Chris just can't get away from his old Demo Pol activist roots. What a fat phony lying sack of ... well, you know.

[hotpotato]

I think the democrats are with fingers crossed, I think the republicans are with steam coming out their nostrils, and I think the independents aren't really paying that much attention.

[reformedliberal]

OK, mewzilla: 'fess up!

This is the 2nd thread this morning where you have teased us w/*there is more than just wenching*. Can you give us more?
Is this Condit redux?

[mewzilla]

Let's just say I have questions about Kerry and everything from the Big Dig to those calls he made to France, Germany and Russia before the start of the Iraq War. I just hope some enterprising journos are as curious as I am :)

btt

[Grut]

Well, these denials could be explained as a bunch of careerists 'getting along by going along' and then covering their asses because falsifying government records is a federal crime, but it's hard to imagine they'd be so casual as to plan the crime where others could overhear them, or explain to passers-by what they were doing at the moment.

And I don't expect the treasonous DemoRat filth or their media shills like Chris Matthews, to back off or apologize either... they'll just quietly drop the matter.

Exactly.

[syriacus]

I'm surprised this is in the Globe.

Must be something to it.

[TheGeezer]

Thank you for the post. I've been waiting for this drivel to die.

Your judgment of the President is pretty harsh, but that's OK. Kerry likely will follow your advice regarding his attempt to bimbo-ize a young woman, and that Drudge nonstory will go away.

It's refreshing to see a story like this in The Globe.
