A different take (see post from last night) on what the new presidential Air National Guard payroll records mean — this from Reuters: “Some of President Bush’s missing Air National Guard records during the Vietnam War years, previously said to be destroyed, turned up on Friday but offered no new evidence to dispel charges by Democrats that he was absent without leave.”
Of course, the fact that the White House has wrangled this issue down to poring over a million different records that I myself can hardly keep track of means they’ve largely neutralized this issue through that classic Washington method of the death of a thousand docs.
