Hey, I reported the news of the day garnered from the records Bush had released. It seems he did NOT get special treatment, and I presume did not jump ahead of anyone, per the records released. I don't recall seeing proof that he jumped ahead of anyone, just an allegation which I think now has been shown to be incorrect. The news report spoke specifically about waiting lists as it indicated no special treatment for Bush was seen. I don't know if Texas was where the physical was to be given, just that Bush wasn't expected to be flying anymore, was in Alabama, and by your link didn't take it(not too suprising considering he knew he wouldn't be flying anymore...but your link was apparently wrong on other points, who knows?). As for the Drug test speculation, I have no idea if such testing began way back then, I just feel you are reaching(and really wouldn't care if he did enjoy some cocaine once upon a time. I'm pretty sure the drinking he's done hurt him worse). Dan B.

Buddy, do you REALLY care about this issue? Or are you just furthering the unsubstantiated demo attack against the President? The latest now is that the Turnipseed guy that 1st said he couldn't remember seeing Bush is in the early stages of alzheimers and has admitted that he doesn't remember much of anything from that long ago. The guy that he referred to the reporters (Calhoun?) has stated that he did see Bush there. Repeatedly. Again. Does the issue really bother you? Do you think it is relevent with where we are right now? Should people avoid voting for Bush because the Dems have been driving this story? An answer to any of these questions would be of interest.
