"...he did not get special treatment, and thus must not have been put ahead of 500 others on the Guard waiting list, as charged."

"In fact, they didn't do much flying to speak of in Alabama, and Bush therefore wasn't expecting to be flying, and so the flight physical and suspension thing seems a little silly(if even accurate)."
