AWOL entertainment
Honestly, I don't care if Bush ditched out on Air National Guard duty, but I find the drama captivating. My take on it is that there is some information about Bush's substance abuse problems attached to his history with the Guard, and that his story isn't any different than hundreds or thousands of others from that same time period, so no big deal.
Atrios is hot on it, I haven't seen a lot that isn't mentioned there. Of the more interesting tidbits that isn't is a recent article about Bill Campenni who wrote an even more recent letter to the Washington Times claiming to have served with Bush in the 111th Fighter Interceptor Squadron of the Texas Air National Guard. In the article, Campenni is described as having been in graduate school at the time he claims to have served with Bush in Texas, having served in the Guard afterwards in Pennsylvania's 146th Fighter Squadron.
