Interesting Spin. There's also wing-nuts out there who argue that President Bush is technically AWOL from the Texas Air Guard (did I get the correct branch?).

Not saying it's true, just that everyone has their own take on things.

Kind of like that rogue's gallery e-mail about how many members of congress have been arrested, convicted etc. etc.

Quick search Bush AWOL and Texas yields:

Most of these stories have the angle:

In May 1972, with two years to go on his six-year commitment to the Guard, Bush moved to Alabama to work on a Senate campaign. He asked if he could do his Guard duty there. This son-of-a-congressman and fighter pilot won permission to do "equivalent training" at a unit that had no aircraft and no pilots. The national Air Reserve office then disallowed this transfer. For months, Bush did nothing for the Guard. In September 1972, he won permission to train with a unit in Montgomery. But the commander of the unit and his administrative officer told the Boston Globe that they had no recollection of Bush ever reporting for duty. And when Bush returned to Texas after the November election, he did not return to his unit for months, according to his military records. His annual performance report, dated May 2, 1973, noted he had "not been observed at this unit" for the past year. In May, June and July of that year, he did pull 36 days of duty.. And then, as he was on his way to Harvard Business School, he received permission to end his Guard service early.

The records suggest Bush skipped out on the Guard for about a year. (And during that time he had failed to submit to an annual physical and lost his flight status.) A campaign spokesperson said Bush recalled doing duty in Alabama and "coming back to Houston and doing duty." But Bush never provided any real proof he had. Asked by a reporter if he remembered what work he had done in Alabama, he said, "No, I really don't." A fair assumption was that he had gamed the system and avoided a year of service, before wiggling out of the Guard nearly a year before his time was up. It looked as if he had served four, not six years.

Clinton also smoked pot, but didn't inhale.

Bush used to do blow.

Both of them see no problem in the continuing the war on drugs to punish people for behavior they themselves have engaged in.

I hate them both.

 

[LordOpie]

Who would you rather party with?

Clinton's probably got all the hook ups to the cool joints and fly peeps.

Bush... you'll be making fun of him and throwing fries at him at 1am at Denny's.

 

[Silver]

Clinton for sure.

I don't like hanging around with drunks who do coke, never have. Give me a pothead any time
