Hat tip


Bush is being accused of not reporting for a physical, among other things, however, the memos that purport to bring this to light may be fakes..

I asked him to put a percentage on the chances that this was a fake, and he said that was "hard to put a number on it." I then suggested "90%?" Again he said it's "hard to put an exact number, but I'd say it's at least that high, sure. I pretty much agree that that font is Times New Roman."
