Can I say this is getting a little bizarre?
Thank you.
This is getting a little bizarre.
Scott McClellan says no blanket release of the president’s military service records. No medical records. No disciplinary records, if they exist.
But dental records? Bring it on!
Late on Wednesday, according to this story in the Associated Press, the White House released “a copy of a dental evaluation President Bush had in the National Guard in Alabama during the Vietnam War to rebut suggestions from Democrats who have questioned whether the president ever showed up for duty there.”
The White House says that this dental exam at Dannelly Air National Guard Base in Alabama on Jan. 6, 1973 provides further proof that the president completed his duties in Alabama. Why it proves that, I’m really not sure.
Then there’s this: “The White House obtained the dental record, along with other medical records it did not release, from the Air Reserve Personnel Center in Denver, Colo., McClellan said. The record was accompanied by a statement from Dr. Richard J. Tubb, the president’s current physician, who stated that he read Bush’s records, which covered a period from 1968 to 1973, and concurred with the doctors’ assertion that Bush was “fit” for service. “The records reflect no disqualifying medical information,” Tubb said.
What’s going on here?
