Ya know, the fact of the matter is HE WASN'T THERE. If he'd been there, there would have been SOMEONE in the past 8 years who would have spoken out and said, "Oh yeah, I remember him being in my squadron, we used to go drinkin every night" or something. It's the military fercrissake, there's got to be a lot of neocons who would love to "prove" that he was there.
But the point is, obviously the American people could care less whether their commander-in-chief went AWOL. His term is almost over (Praise Holy God), and he doesn't have to run for re-election. It's old news. I doubt that even the 20-some-odd percent of Americans who still support him would care if he came out and flat-out admitted it. The only people still supporting him are the few who are so scared of gays that Bush's anti-gay agenda has made them feel safe from the biggest threat facing our country (gay marriage). And the other 70-plus percent of the American people are just so sick of him that they flat out don't care, they just want him gone.
