The logic on Ben Barnes the Bush White House is ignoring

[tomfodw]

Trying to claim that Ben Barnes got George W. Bush into the Texas Air National Guard without being asked or pressured or bribed to do so by the Bush family kind of doesn't really make much sense. How could Barnes have known that Bush wanted to get into the TXANG unless someone told him, and that someone would have had to know that Bush wanted to get in. So even if neither Bush nor Daddy told Barnes, they must have told someone who told Barnes, or someone who told someone who told Barnes.

Also, look at it from this point of view. You're George W. Bush (I know, it makes me ill to contemplate the possibility, too). You're gung-ho to be drafted and go to Vietnam. Suddenly, out of the blue, the Texas Air National Guard offers you a post, one you never asked for, and as far as you know no one else ever asked for on your behalf, either. What do you do? Do you say, "Gee, I never thought of the TXANG before, I was gonna just wait until the Army drafted me, I really want to go to Vietnam, but what the heck, flying sounds like fun, I'll take it!" Or do you go ask Daddy, "Hey, Pops, what up wid dis? Whuffo you pullin' strings for me? I never asked you to do dat. I'm hankerin' to go to Vietnam and kill me some gooks."

It doesn't make any sense that Barnes would simply get George W. Bush into the TXANG unless someone who knew Bush wanted to get into the TXANG asked him to get Bush into the TXANG. Does it really matter if neither GHB nor GHWB asked Barnes directly or if they used one or more intermediaries?

Not that anyone's figuring this out...

2. Oh, dear, why do I hate America?

I'm so sorry for my shocking and unpardonable lapse of judgment. It's just that I can't help myself, I didn't dissipate my youth in an orgy of brain-cell-destroying drug and alcohol abuse, so my neurons still fire properly. But don't worry, I'll be drinking the Koolaid soon, so I'm sure this will be the last time I operate my brain the way it was intended and I'll be a Freeper any day now.

the error of your ways. Now, go drink the koolaid. :)
