Dan Rather makes another blunder. In tonight's broadcast he described Burkett as a former member of the Texas AIR National Guard. In fact, Burkett was in the Texas ARMY National Guard. Was Dan trying to obscure the fact the Burkett could have no personal knowledge of President Bush's service or was it just another example of Dan's sloppy journalism? I've reported, you decide.
Guess that means Burkett never served in the plane with George W - and isn't that the criteria the press uses?
I caught the "Air Guard" quote, and I thought he was still trying to deceive listeners into to believing that Burkett actually might be familiar with Bush's Air National Guard service.
