When Stupid People make Stupid Statements

President "Served when Convenient" stated in 1988:

CONNIE CHUNG: The problem, though, would be is if, indeed, [Dan Quayle] made several phone calls or some people made phone calls on his behalf to get him into the National Guard. I mean, did that happen to you? Were you...

DUBYA (interrupting): No. I don't think so. But in those days, people were going into the service all different branches. And if you want to go into the National Guard, I guess sometimes people make calls. I don't see anything wrong with, a matter of fact I'm glad he served his country. And serving in the National Guard is serving in the military. They probably should have called the National Guard up in those days. Maybe we'd have done better in Vietnam.


Not only does this presage the Ben Barnes report tonight, along with evidence of loads of preferential treatment, even in 1988 Dubya was cheapshoting the guys WHO ACTUALLY FOUGHT IN THE WAR, as opposed to those who ducked in to avoid serving in the shit.

No shame.
