Man named in Bush memo left Guard before document was written

I've been emailing Free Republic threads to local talk radio, Drudge, blogs, Fox, etc...

I think now that they are coming here for their research. Why have to spend all that time for story ideas and different angles on a story when FR does it for you.

Good going people.

p.s. I did email this story to Drudge though

[Hacksaw]

CBS would have more credibility if they hired Baghdad Bob.

If Killian himself returned from the dead and denied writing the memos, Ra^ther would say he was confused from the stress of returning from the dead. Sheesh.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Dan RATHER:"This story is true. The questions we raised about then-Lieutenant Bush's National Guard service are serious and legitimate," he said, expressing confidence the memos are authentic. "Until and unless someone shows me definitive proof that they are not, I don't see any reason to carry on a conversation with the professional rumor mill."

This statement will go down in history, as a last dying gasp from the Old Media.

And I don't like people impugning my pajamas.....

You don't think that guy was on the threads here with us during the Election fiasco 2000, do you? Ick, gives me the creeps!

[joonbug]

Details, details.

As the Dems like to say, it is the seriousness of the charge that is important, not the substance.

This is BREAKING NEWS -- yesterday. No wonder FR is running at a snails' pace. Before you post an article as BREAKING NEWS, you ought to at least read the BREAKING NEWS column and do severales search using various word combinations.

W don't respond to garbage like this. The WH distributed the docs to all the media hoping someone might do the job that the blogs ended up doing. Congrats to FR, Powerline and the rest for outting lardarse Dan and the gang!

[P-Marlowe]

The DMN?
D^aMN!

[Hacksaw]

[ambrose]

Why would Bush involve himself in this? He's busy being President.

[PhiKapMom]

I share your mmmmmm! The smell is a stench and getting worse.

[Semi Civil Servant]

The liberal fish wrap from Ra^ther's hometown won't humor Dan's delusions, either. Must be getting lonely at the top of Black Rock.

[Brad’s Gramma]

The man named in a disputed memo as exerting pressure to "sugar coat" President Bush's military record left the Texas Air National Guard a year and a half before the memo was supposedly written, his own service record shows.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[ambrose]

I did not post this as breaking news. Someone else added the 'breaking' after it was posted.

[Labyrinthos]

OK, but still, we need a greater effort to avoid dupilcate threads. The crawl is pathetic.

[need_a_screen_name]

If you would read the thread before jumping to conclusions, you would see that I bumpd this into Breaking. I have been on here 24/7 the last couple of days and even live in the DFW area, and I hadn't seen this before. It is news that a LOT of people have missed...

Cancel AOL, get cable/dsl, and quit kvetching.

If Kerry could find a hole this week, do you think he would have crawled into it? (After all, Saddam had one!) It lasted for a while for Saddam.

Maybe Kerry's would remain undiscovered at least until Nov 3....

[F.J. Mitchell]

Better play the ol' race card Danny Boy. Don't be suprised though, if you pissoff whatever race you claim to belong to.

[BJungNan]

A CBS staffer stood by the story, suggesting that Staudt could have continued to exert influence over Guard officials.

And another CBS Staffer said he was the "bullying type".

These people are like kindergardener caught in a stupid lie and coming up with even dumber explanations. This is shocking!
