The Perfect Storm?
New (or the same old unanswered) questions are being raised about Bush's National Guard duty.
The man who pulled the strings to get Bush into the Texas National Guard is coming forward on 60 Minutes with his story on how he did it and how he is "ashamed."
Kitty Kelley's book on the Bush family is coming out and alleging that Bush did cocaine at Camp David during his father's presidency (contradicting Bush's statements in 1999 that he could have passed a drug test going back to 1978), and also supposedly dicussing the fact that Bush paid for an abortion for a girlfriend in 1971 (when abortion was still illegal in Texas pre-Roe). F-911 fans will remember the name James Bath -- from what I hear, Bath helped to arrange for the abortion.
(Personally, if I was in the media I'd want to know if Bush's 1972 community service was "court ordered," as I've heard it was part of a deal arranged by Dad so that Bush wouldn't have to do time for cocaine possession)
I can only presume that the media will do just as thorough a job of investigating and airing these charges as they did the Swift Boaters.
