Laff

I saw where even more documents have turned up regarding Dubya's National Guard Vacation--in this instance the New York Times thought it best to focus on an effusive letter from George Senior to Maj. Gen. G.B. Greene Jr., who was then in charge of the training center at Lackland Air Force Base.

But what got me to smile was the document dump apparently contains a press release that's surfaced before. It says:

George Bush is one member of the younger generation who doesn't get his kicks from pot or hashish or speed. Oh, he gets high, all right, but not from narcotics.

The Smoking Jet has a similar quote:

George Walker Bush is one member of the younger generation who doesn't get his kicks from pot or hashish or speed ... As far as kicks are concerned, Lt. Bush gets his from the roaring afterburner of the F-102.

Now, technically COCAINE isn't in the press release, but I hear that young Dubya (and, apparently, Ms. Laura) took a toke or two at times (hell, that's about the one thing I can actually like about them--well, that, and the Missus apparently was anti-war during the Vietnam era). I guess the TANG wasn't exactly up to speed--no pun intended--when it came to matters Bush.

Now, I don't have any proof, but the more I read about the end days of young George's adventures in the air, the more it seems as if there's something chemical in his past that he doesn't want us to know about. Was he arrested? Did he use family ties to stay out of jail? Hmmm. I know the late J.H. Hatfield has his problems, but that's what he alleged. It'd be nice if a genuine news organization would check around. The documents have probably been burned, but plenty of folks should still be around--it'd be interesting to hear what they have to say...
