The whole W-AWOL thing is going up in smoke.
Pretty much as we all knew it would. Too bad that when a Republican is concerned, big media leaps before it looks. But John Kerry, well, he gets a pass because the bimbo story needs more investigation before it goes to press.
I particularly love this bit:
Burkett’s allegations about the Bush records come as the White House is attempting to answer mounting questions about whether Bush fulfilled his obligations as a member of the Texas Air Guard during the early 1970s. Burkett’s allegations also will be a major focus of a book on Bush to be published next month.
But the book’s author, James Moore, a former Houston TV news correspondent, concedes he never interviewed some of the key players who could have verified Burkett’s charges, including Conn and retired National Guard Colonel John Scribner — the officer Burkett says he saw removing items from the Bush file.
Moore, told yesterday that Conn contradicts Burkett’s story, said he believes Burkett’s allegations are true. “I think we’re into a classic he-said, she-said,” Moore said.
How can you say that when you didn’t even corroborate what Burkett told you in the first place? It sounds like we’re really into a classic “Burkett lied, Bush really served like he said he did” to me.
But what do I know, I’m a software engineer, not a scribbler.
