Late word from the White House is that they’re releasing some pay stubs which will verify the president’s attendance at Guard duty in Alabama.

We’ll see what they say. But as Richard Cohen notes in his column today, it wasn’t that hard at the time to play hooky and still get paid.

More to the point, this is still the White House selectively releasing records.

We should have more information on this shortly. Check back soon.
