Just a point to think about

When the republican histrionics over Kerry's records started, I was surprised to see that no one pointed out to the republicans this little gem:

When reporters Bill Morlin and Karen Dorn Steele asked the White House about their discovery, they were referred to the Pentagon, which now refuses to answer ANY questions about Bush's military records.

At the National Guard Bureau, now headed by a Bush appointee from Texas, officials last week said they were under orders not to answer questions.

The bureau's chief historian said he couldn't discuss questions about Bush's military service on orders from the Pentagon.

"If it has to do with George W. Bush, the Texas Air National Guard or the Vietnam War, I can't talk with you," said Charles Gross, chief historian for the National Guard Bureau in Washington, D.C.

Rose Bird, Freedom of Information Act officer for the bureau, said her office stopped taking records requests on Bush's military service in mid-February and is directing all inquiries to the Pentagon. She would not provide a reason.

Air Force and Texas Air National Guard officials did not respond to written questions about the issue.

James Hogan, a records coordinator at the Pentagon, said senior Defense Department officials had directed the National Guard Bureau not to respond to questions about Bush's military records.

And it's spelled: Hypocrisy, right?

What do you have to say now that the President has released all of his military records?

That's rich -- a phuckwit who uncritically c&p's from a wingnut website like 'Democrats.com' demands proof.

Delicious.

Bush still hiding the full record, blacking out evaluations and smirking his way through things.

Give him a blood-alcohol today, bet it matches his old charges, with as much Coke in there as well...

Mr. Mudhead:

Careful there, the site host might ask to you provide links as "proof".
