I'm not sure if that's the exact quote or not, but didn't it come from the Firesign Theater?

the latest documents contain news releases that the Texas Air National Guard sent to Houston newspapers in 1970 about young Bush, then a second lieutenant and new pilot.

There is nothing like a "newly released record" that is a news release from the 1970s. :-)

"The White House has said repeatedly that all of Bush's Guard records have been disclosed, only to be embarrassed when new documents have turned up."

This is the news. The fact that AP got anything means they can blame Bush. Bush signed the SF-180, unlike Kerry who did not but says he has given all his records up to on line posting. It is the Pentagon which hasn't produced all the records, not Bush.

The AP wants to say Bush hid something. That's what is going on. That's the story ... what is Bush hiding.

16 - bingo - "When I was in ROTC, press releases were sent to everyone's local paper. It was a recruiting tool. My name was in my local paper 3-4 times. I was somewhat embarrassed, but my parents loved it!"

Me too, in the reserves and active duty during the war.

Yeah. So.

When I was just a punk enlisted Air Force E-1 in basic training, they took my picture and sent it along with a press release to my home town paper saying I graduated from basic.

That the general who'd just hired himself a new pilot trainee would send a letter to his dad is just, so..... SO WHAT?

Yes, it is on the album "Don't Crush that Dwarf. Hand me the Pliers."

And it is an exact quote. I have all the old Firesign Theater and a lot of their new stuff downloaded from Kazaa. Many of them were obviously ripped from vinyl. 8^>

I put several albums as mp3 on a cd and listen to it through headphones sometimes as a sleeping aid in bed. I'm so familiar with the stuff it puts me right to sleep.

Bingo.

This is what concerns me. They released his file. Where are these documents being drawn from? Another's file? I'm not happy about this.

The newly released info does hurt the Libs. Specific commentary on how he wasn't striung up on drugs? Good officer? The NG had a positive efect on him? LOL!! Poor Libs. They desperately want to believe the worst of G.W. and keep being exposed to his best side.

The AP has lost all integrity.

AP is a (C)BS wannabe. They'll make it soon.

That is so small.

I think it is so lame.

It makes the Bushes look like TOTAL CLASS. Is this really the best the Left has got?

WOW. These pinkos are desperate.

"Hometown news releases" and "Letters to Parents" were (and probably still are) routine programs. We used to even have quotas for how many of these things we needed to get in the mill. This "news report" is utter nonsense.

George Bush went through the express lane at the supermarket with more than 15 items in 1977.

...and they've got the fake, but accurate, receipts typed up to prove it.

I bought George Bush's book "All My Best", which if one reads, will understand that the Bush Family writes a personal note to everyone in their lives right down to the garbage collector at their summer home. It's a thanks, or condolences, or just a sharing of a mutual interest. The guy wrote constantly. It's a lost courtesy which people of class used to carry out, lost on today's culture.

With so many issues -- such as the environment and Iraq, with which to attack Bush -- why this ancient NG stuff? Who cares?

Even if true, Bush's record was far better than Clinton's non-record. If I recall right, these same people raised no big fuss over Clinton.

I'm sorry, but my husband's parents received a letter from an officer on my husband's ship almost every month.

That Bush family is so classy. Contrast them with the Kennedy's and, well....

My husband recently showed me a copy of one of the letters that was sent to his parents, as a matter of fact. It was even typed on a manual typewriter.
