It says there are "questions" because it ignores things we already know. And it does so on purpose.

For example, saying you don't remember someone being in your high school is not the same as saying, "I know that he was never in my high school." They have taken part of what someone said and twisted it to suit their desired result.

And that is a prime example of why I hate these creeps.

"And that is a prime example of why I hate these creeps."

Here is another reason to hate them. They are liars.

Here is Walter "Mad Dog" Robinson's key paragraph in this story:

"The personnel records, covering Bush's Guard service between May 1972 and May 1973, constitute the first evidence that Bush appeared for any duty during the first 11 months of that 12-month period. Bush is recorded as having served the minimum number of days expected of Guard members in that 12 months of service time."

Here is the key paragraph from the George Magazine article from October 2001--three and a half years ago:

"Two documents obtained by Georgemag.com indicate that Bush did make up the time he missed during the summer and autumn of 1972. One is an April 23, 1973 order for Bush to report to annual active duty training the following month; the other is an Air National Guard statement of days served by Bush that is torn and undated but contains entries that correspond to the first. Taken together, they appear to establish that Bush reported for duty on nine occasions between November 29, 1972-when he could have been in Alabama-and May 24, 1973. Bush still wasn't flying, but over this span, he did earn nine points of National Guard service from days of active duty and 32 from inactive duty. When added to the 15 so-called "gratuitous" points that every member of the Guard got per year, Bush accumulated 56 points, more than the 50 that he needed by the end of May 1973 to maintain his standing as a Guardsman."

Everybody who has researched this story knows about the George Magazine piece. Robinson knew about it for three and a half years. George listed the documents they used.

Robinson is a Bush hater and a liar. He has been caught lying about this story (cf. Turnipseed) and he is trying to backfill before he goes the way of Jayson Blair.

Remember, he has already been found guilty of libel for making up stories about another Republican--a candidate for Governor of Massachusetts. This is his standard pattern. He is not a journalist. (Not an honest one, anyway.)
