Dan Rather reports: Kindergarten teacher says Bush "Unreliable"

Ms. Tara McClossoff, now retired from Midland (TX) Elementary School says that President Bush had to be told repeatedly to put the top back on the glue jar and to stop running in class. "He was too energetic, and way too loud" said the respected educator. "I had to send him to the principal's office on numerous occasions for naptime violations (pretending to sleep) and pulling little girls ponytails" she opined, and "on more than one occasion, he failed to show up".

BSN couldn't contact the school principal due to the fact that he was dead. A search of school records did turn up several documents which may have been authored by former school principal Lou Swimmen. These memos refer to Bush as a "handful" and describe him as particularly hard to find when hiding. Longtime school secretary Tess Tickles allowed BSN access to the memos, and described the young Bush as "not very smart, for a 5-year old" and quick with a verbal taunt. "He used to come in here and stick his tongue out at me" she continued, "When I asked him what he had done this time, he would reply "bite me""

The Whitehouse refused to comment on these allegations, despite every effort by BSN to bring them to their attention. The damaging memos were unfortunately eaten by a dog...
