Bush to release all records.....
Welp, looks like the pressure was too much. ABC News out of West Palm Beach just reported that Bush has ordered the release of all military records.
What time is it? 6:00 PM Friday, of course. ThugCo's favorite time of the week to release bad news.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
NBC news led with the story and deserves a real "attaboy!" for the skepticism with which they approached it. Brian Williams opened the broadcast with the fact that "embarassing news is always released on a Friday night." Then David Gregory on the WH lawn showed the stack of 400 sheets of paper, gazing at them with a Spock-like raised eyebrow while noting they would take awhile to go through. THEN they hauled out the ONE guy the White House could produce, to attest that he remembered Bush from Alabama...and noted that the dates he VERY specifically remembered seeing Bush there, didn't match the dates in the just-released papers!
I was not expecting this level of coverage so didn't have a chance to Tivo it. Will have to pick up the west coast 'cast...I love my satellite dish. :-)
BTW WashingtonPost doesn't even have the story on their front page yet, much less the papers themselves. Maybe their scanner bulb burned out.
