Bush never passed pilot written exams
Having been a private pilot around forty year, it should be revealed that Bush never passed any written exams... ie. private pilot and instrument. He never had a license.

Dealing with obnoxious wing-bat moon-nuts.
"Used, despite the fact that it makes absolutely no sense, because they could not come up with a word or phrase as appropriately descriptive as "wingnut."
Which is why I always use it against wingnuts. I won't let them confiscate a perfectly good insult.
Try it: you right-wing moonbat!
"but...that's supposed to mean 'liberals'!! waaaah!
Also, it helps to insult a wingnut en-passant, without directly addressing them. Don't feed the trolls.
Now if they actually show some sign of being willing to engage in real discourse, well, that's not the case with the one who's name need not be repeated, because I'm sick of seeing it, and I'm sure anyone reading this far is too.

@ Groenhagen
Groan n moanen-
You numb nut, office poge, lard ass, armchair warrior types never fail to give me a chuckle. Probably spent your whole time in Service ladling out SOS, you permanent KP looking non-ruck packing or body armor wearing, f*ckstick pumping, grabasstic, dirty stinkin’ leg, motherf*cker. The Service does not need any officer ass-licking, jeep driving for the CO type, douche bag, vomit breath, c*cks*ckers like you. I seen a million swinging dicks like your sorry fish and goat smelling dingleberry’s dangling ass ditty bop thru ‘cruit training thinking you’re a soldier because you scored 50 on the ASVAB. Well get this cheese d*ck cherry; morons like yourself always end up eating mermite chow, scarfing pogie bait at the PX and keeping MREs for souvenirs because you can’t pack the gear, and sit in the rear with the other non-combat sh*tbirds telling war stories and massaging each others wands to thoughts of re-uping. Until you fire a shot in anger, treat a sucking chest wound, hump a 60 pound ruck and a pig for 20K, and send a platoon of the enemy to their heathen gods by sticking a bayonet and your highly polished boot up their ass don’t even play it, f*cking tin soldier. Drop and pump until your ass is sucking buttermilk for even thinking it, and quit eyeing me boy.
SFC Rock (on the trail 10 years)
And one more thing numbnuts,your sorry ex-marine ass does'nt even pack the gear to polish my multiply deployed Corcorans, let alone a decorated veteran's like some of the Demo's mentioned here.
'Nuff said.

A short word about Dan Rather
I remember Dan Rather's opinions about the Kennedy assination, and I believed him. He has been around so long, I hardly remember him not being there. But I felt betrayed when I found out more of the truth, and I realized he bought into the government's lies. So, when he told on Bush, I thought maybe, in his later years, truth was coming out about someone like Bush from Dan Rather, and it is a good thing. I still believed him. And I remember being sorry he lost his job over this. He was pushed out for telling the truth. We had many years of Dan Rather that might not have happened if he had told the truth about Kennedy. But I am glad he is willing to risk now what he could not risk then. And give them hell to boot.

Brilliant Reporting Mr. Blumenthal !
Outstanding job to Dan Rather for bringing this matter forward, where Mr. Rather now has the control he needs to bring out the truth of the deceit by his former employers CBS, when CBS decided to currie favor with the new Bush administration, and denigrate the fine reporting by Mary Mapes and Dan Rather, thereby taking the CBS that we all treasured and loved, from the days of integrity where the standard was set by the legends Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite, to a land of untruths and make-believe, and to think the listening audience would buy it. We didn't.
"Hello... Earth to CBS... we the listeners out here aren't dumb. We just change the dial to another station, at the same time recalling in a fleeting moment the days of integrity that CBS that used to represent".
Outstanding reporting in this article Mr. Blumenthal. Keep following this for us. We will be rivited to these pages for your next report.
Thank you.

Dan Will Win If the Truth Matters
That Lt. George W. Bush was AWOL from his duty station in Alabama is irrefutable. Here are the three main points from my October 16, 2004 Letter to the Editor.
(1) President Bush's Military Biography, released in 2004 by the Pentagon, states his times and locations of service. The line of interest is as follows:
Nov. 30, 1969 - Oct. 1, 1973, 111th Fighter Intercept Squadron, Ellington Air Force Base, Texas.
(2) Lt. Bush's annual Officer's Effectiveness Report is signed by two officers from the 111th on May 2, 1973. The officers are Lt. Col. William D. Harris Jr., a pilot and Bush's supervisor, and Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian, squadron commander. The period covered is May 1, 1972 - April 30, 1973. In all nine categories, Bush is rated as "not observed".
The officers added a statement of explanation. The statement reads: "Lt. Bush has not been observed at this unit during the period of this report. A civilian occupation made it necessary for him to move to Montgomery, Ala. He cleared this base on May 15, 1972, and has been performing equivalent training in a nonflying status with the 187 Tac Recon Gp, Dannelly ANG Base, Alabama."
(3) By the fall of 1972, Bush was supposed to be with the 187th at Dannelly ANG base in Alabama. Two junior officers, Bob Mintz and Paul Bishop, reported never seeing Bush there. They are emphatic because Lt. Bush was expected in 1972. The number of pilots in the 187th was 25 to 30, a small group. Mintz and Bishop later rose in the Guard to the rank of lieutenant colonel and colonel, respectively. Even nonflying drills would have been occasions for them to see Lt. Bush had he been present.
Bush has not named or otherwise identified a single person who saw him at Dannelly from October 1972 to April 1973.
One last note: In January 1973, Lt. Bush did show up at Dannelly to get his teeth fixed.
My letter was not published prior to the 2004 Election because the local Virginia newspaper "lost" it.
The Opinion Page Editor, a former employee of the American Enterprise Institute, offered to publish it after the election. It was published on November 13, 2004. The editor titled my letter: "Re-elected or not, Bush shirked his Guard duty".
