Come on Squadrons have as many personnel as a destroyer..You would know that..some secretary who doesn't deal with a pilot everyday probrably would hardly know who he was.

She's trying to say she remembers the feelings from 30 years ago a CO had towards one obscure pilot...can she name any other pilots in the squadron at that time...probrably not. So she remembers Bush? Come on...

I've not been in the Air Force, but a Navy squadron is nothing like a destroyer. The command secretary is there every day. If the pilots go to talk to the CO, they talk to her first. She maintains his schedule, writes his memos, and knows where he is at any time. It's also a reserve unit. I'm guessing that their personnel turnover rate wasn't nearly as high as an active unit.

Researchers at the Kinsey Institute began their study in 1999 by giving 200 married couples who were planning on starting families within the next four years Intelligence Quotient (IQ) tests. By 2003, all but 27 of these couples had conceived.

Another IQ test was given to each set of parents successful in conceiving and birthing a baby six months after their child was born. These results were compared to the previous intelligence tests.

In every single one of the 173 cases, both parents scored at least twelve points lower on the second IQ test, with the majority of parents losing twenty or more IQ points.

I think she probably remembers correctly. Too bad for the democrats that any validity of the sentiments contained in the bogus documents is far overshadowed by the forgery and fraud of presenting them. One step forward, ten steps back.

It seems he has a history of this type of "journalism".

Niel Boortz made a good observation....

Memo's come out against Democrats..the media says we should demand the validity of the documents and ignore the content until proven authentic.

Memo's come out against republicans, the media says we should ignore the validity and focus on the content wether or not they are authentic

rather is either very evil or very stupid.

Is anyone surprised that he went after Bush like a pit bull but allmost gave sadam  a lip massage during the respective interviews?

It's time for someone in a position of reponsibility at CBS to get one of those big hook things and yank Rather off the stage before he does any more damage.  The man belongs in a rubber room.

His ratings are plummeting this week:

CBS CONCERN OVER VIEWERSHIP PLUNGE; RATHER RATINGS FADE IN MAJOR MARKETS

CBS executives on both coasts have become concerned in recent days that Dan Rather's EVENING NEWS broadcast has plunged in the ratings since the anchor presented questionable documents about Bush's National Guard service.

NIELSEN numbers released this week show Rather fading and trailing his rivals in every Top 10 city, other than San Francisco, with audience margins in some cities running more than 6 to 1 against CBS

do you think the documents are authentic or at least copies of real documents?
