Dubya's military records found in Burglar's socks.

(2004-07-24) -- The Pentagon announced today that the newly-released payroll records from President Bush's 1972 National Guard service were discovered in the socks of Clinton-era national security advisor Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger.

"We're still going through the trove of documents from Mr. Berger's socks," said an unnamed spokesman for the FBI. "It's like an archeological dig. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find 18 minutes of Nixon White House tapes as we work our way down through the various strata of the Berger hosiery."

Mr. Berger released a statement to the media denying intentional wrongdoing in the matter, and claiming that "static electricity" often attracts items to his socks.

"In the future, I shall employ a popular dryer sheet which dissipates electrical charges," Mr. Berger said. "My failure to do so previously is just plain sloppiness."

#4  Are there any missing Da Vinci Codas? What about Rembrandts - is Sandy into art? I'm sure there are Dead Sea Scroll experts who'll want to talk to him, too. And what about the Edmind Fitzgerald? I'll bet he had the Atocha's gold on him, too. Hell, the whole Bermuda Triangle thing might be related to Sandy's boxers.

#2  And another thing, I heard an interview of GW, while a canidate, telling how he trained as a pilot. "A Jet Jockey" he said proudly. Hey RBrs, wouldn't you be proud to be a trained Jet Jockey? I know I would. Out of my comfort zone though!

#1  Vietnam service or not. If you got your Honorable discharge, then everybody else just back off. Or bring up your own heroism. (since that will play well with the dead heros)

I've written before here aboout an interview with a survivor of the Indianopolois(?, forgive me if I missed the right name) The ship that was sunk in the Pacific, WW2, known for the shark attacks that took so many seamans lives. PBS had a surviver explain why he had never mentioned his experiences regarding that. He said something that made so much sense. He said "I didn't want to say anything to another vet as I couldn't know what kind of hell he had gone through. Better to let that lay" or some such. Man!

Bush trained as a Pilot in aircraft that were being absoleted. Typical of Guards units of the time, the front line birds were being used to fight. His class prolly sent very few pilots to fight. A lot of people got out of fighting in VN. Me included, so just back off.
