Nope. Never worked for a candidate in my life. Are you sure I'm not a registered Republican? Would you pay me $2500 if I proved it to you? (seems like a good number if you're a betting man). Sorry, I just don't have your tolerance for draft dodgers, is all. Too may war veterans, and dead heroes in my family. I guess if a lot of rich guys shirk their duty to the country, then it's okay, right? I really don't understand that attitude, and never will.

A lot of sons of rich guys got the deal George W got. This story is going nowhere.

Why would (or should) this story go nowhere?

It's "okay" that George W got a special deal because other rich guys' sons did too??

I think not.

Just because George W may have flown planes (in the US, mind you) doesn't make his "out" (from combat) any better than Clinton's. So what if George actually flew? So what if Clinton smoked pot? They both had an "out."

I believe you're looking at this with "selective objectivity," if I may coin a phrase.
