1972 Email Casts Doubt on Bush Guard Service |
1972 Email Casts Doubt on Bush Guard Service
by Scott Ott
(2004-09-09) -- CBS reporter Dan Rather today released the text of a
recently discovered email from then-Lt. George W. Bush's Air National Guard
commanding officer which casts more doubt upon the military service of the
man who would become the 43rd President of the United States.
The revelation of the email comes just hours after questions were raised
about the authenticity of typewritten memos from the same officer, shown
yesterday by Mr. Rather on 60 Minutes.
According to the previously unseen email message sent in May 1972 by
squadron commander Jerry Killian, Lt. Bush phoned Col. Killian because "his
internet connection was on the fritz and he couldn't IM me."
Lt. Bush apparently wanted to talk about "how he can get out of coming to
drill from now through November."
According to Col. Killian's email, the young Bush wanted to go to Alabama to
work as webmaster for a Republican candidate's website.
Mr. Rather said the authenticity of the 32-year-old email has been confirmed
by several Nigerian officials who specialize in electronic funds transfer by
email.

Good article :))
As for the doubts cast on "those memos", I'm certain we had typewriters
that could manage proportional spacing and superscripts, in the '60s let
alone 1972. With a 'carbon' ribbon, the output would give a modern
laser-printer a run for its money (but not for 'graphics' of course;
although later models of golf-ball or daisy-wheel typewriter were capable
of something like 90dpi using the full-stop or decimal-point character).
Proportional spacing goes back a long way in typewriter history; it took
me about 30 minutes to Google this:
..-----<http://www.juggling.org/jw/87/2/bulletin.html>
| [...]
| Something did develop from this "humble start." One month later, in
| October 1944, the waning days of World War II, Roger Montandon published
| the first issue of "The Juggler's Bulletin," mailed free to 150
| subscribers. After six issues, he began to charge two dollars a year.
| Circulation dropped immediately:
| [...]
| He typed it on an early IBM proportional typewriter which required, in
| order to achieve a justified (vertically straight) right margin, that he
| type the whole Bulletin once, count the spaces left at the end of each
| line, and then retype the whole thing. The final copy was then printed
| on offset. He offered a pride of workmanship from the start.
| [...]

They didn't have fixed width fonts on typewriters then either.
How many typewriters (in 1972) have superscript th's in smaller sizes? When
I learned to type we used full size th's but rolled the page half of a line
up.

I'm starting to think those letters were planted by Karl Rove for the media
to find to make it look like the Democrats forged them. He's known for
doing that kind of thing.

true.
Me too. I started typing without backspace/white-out. I remember the
first time I typed on an ELECTRIC typewriter with BACKSPACE WHITEOUT.
Omigod. I just about died and went to heaven.
I hate the last few months' of presidential campaigns. It's all so
pointless right now. I guess. I dunno. <shrug>

Kind of interesting what those old typewriters could do back in the 1960s &
early 1970s. Still, I suppose obfuscation of Bush's Guard service record is
more important than directly addressing the issue. So it goes.

It's sad that self-described moderates have come to embrace politicians who
continue to decimate the very Constitution and values that we Americans once
took for granted. Do you fit the profile?
