While the world turns about Drudge, let's not lose sight of the AWOL story, after all that's what Rove and Co. want. And things continue to get interesting. See this from CalPundit, who's really driving this story now:
According to a story in a Memphis newspaper, and reported by CalPundit,:
"Recalls Memphian Mintz, now 63: “I remember that I heard someone was coming to drill with us from Texas. And it was implied that it was somebody with political influence. I was a young bachelor then. I was looking for somebody to prowl around with.” But, says Mintz, that “somebody” -- better known to the world now as the president of the United States -- never showed up at Dannelly in 1972. Nor in 1973, nor at any time that Mintz, a FedEx pilot now and an Eastern Airlines pilot then, when he was a reserve first lieutenant at Dannelly, can remember.
“And I was looking for him,” repeated Mintz, who said that he assumed that Bush “changed his mind and went somewhere else” to do his substitute drill.
“There’s no way we wouldn’t have noticed a strange rooster in the henhouse, especially since we were looking for him,” insists Mintz, who has pored over documents relating to the matter now making their way around the Internet.
....Though some accounts reckon the total personnel component of the 187th as consisting of several hundred, the actual flying squadron – that to which Bush was reassigned – number only “25 to 30 pilots,” Mintz said. “There’s no doubt. I would have heard of him, seen him, whatever.”
Another member of the 187th, Paul Bishop, says the same thing: "I never saw hide nor hair of Mr. Bush."
So if Bush wasn't at Dannelly Air Base, where was he? And what was he getting paid for?
