expose with Barnes. I Tivo'ed it, but the description listed for tonights 60 minutes refers to a program about Robert Duval. I Tivo'ed it anyway.

Anyone know the scoop? I live in Texas. I wonder if the local networks are planning to play an old re run, rather than tarnish smirk?

will let ya'll know.

2. And not only that, here is the AP wire story

<snip>The newly released records show Bush, a lieutenant in the Texas Air National Guard, ranked No. 22 in a class of 53 pilots when he finished his flight training at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia in 1969.

Over the next three years, he logged 326.4 hours as a pilot and an additional 9.9 hours as a co-pilot, mostly in the F-102A jet used to intercept enemy aircraft. Of the 278 hours he flew in the interceptor, about 77 hours were in the TF-102A, the two-seat trainer version of the one-seat fighter jet.

The records show his last flight was in April 1972, which is consistent with pay records indicating Bush had a lapse of duty between April and October of that year. Bush has said he had permission to go to Alabama in 1972 to work on an unsuccessful Republican Senate campaign. Bush skipped a required medical exam that cost him his pilot's status in August of that year.

<end snip>

On edit: This is just breaking onto the desks of a lotta media folks right now. Combine that with "60 Mintues" tonight and I'm willing to bet Ol'Scotty at the WH will have a BAD day tomorrow. :D
