GEORGE BUSH: Deserter-In-Chief

From today's Meet the Press Love-In, starring George Bush as Himself and Tim Russert as his favorite new lap dancer/dog.....

CLAIM vs. FACT
Personal Military Records

RELEASE OF RECORDS

CLAIM: NBC's Tim Russert – "Would you authorize the release of everything to settle this?"

Pres. Bush – "Yes, absolutely. We did so in 2000 by the way."

FACT – RECORDS OFF-LIMITS: "[A]s Bush has risen in public life over the last several years, Texas military officials have put many of his records off-limits and heavily redacted many other pages." [Source: Boston Globe, 5/23/2000] web.archive.org

REPORTING FOR DUTY

CLAIM: "I did show up in Alabama."

FACT – UNIT COMMANDER DOESN'T BELIEVE HE SHOWED UP FOR DUTY: The Boston Globe reports that Bush's assigned unit commander, William Turnipseed, and his administrative officer, Kenneth K. Lott, do not believe that Bush reported. In an interview Turnipseed said, "Had he reported in, I would have had some recall, and I do not. I had been in Texas, done my flight training there. If we had had a first lieutenant from Texas, I would have remembered." [Source: Boston Globe, 5/23/2000]
