Bush's medical records — dozens of pages in all — were opened for examination by reporters in the Roosevelt Room, but the material was not being distributed publicly.

The records documented that Bush, a pilot, was suspended from flying status beginning Aug. 1, 1972, because of his failure to have an annual medical examination. His last flight exam was on May 15, 1971.

His medical checks, from 1968 through 1971, show no signs of illness at the time except for a brief episode of hemorrhoid symptoms.

from talking out of his ass. Or, perhaps, from extracting his head witha shoehorn.

12. God, no wonder they're all so obsessed with anal sex!

I would be too if I had all the rear-end problems the neocons seem to suffer from! I knew they were all full of shit, but this is ridiculous!

13. I would think one was 'ordered', at least administratively directed,

to get examined before expiration. One is a pilot, right?

"His flying exam expired on his birthday, July 6, 1972, said White House
communications director Dan Bartlett.

He didn't take his next exam because "he was in non-flying capacity in
another state" and knew he'd be there for months. "There was no need or
reason for him to take a flying exam.

Allegations that he ducked that physical are "just outrageously false,"
Bartlett said.

-----------

Seems like you'd get the exam in June. When did he mosey over to Montgomery? I doubt it was July or June or May.

And it seems that if the previous exam was May, that would be the normal re-exam month. (Since if the birth month convention were used, then why was the last one in May? Seems more like enlistment month, yearly.)

14. Good eye TP.

I heard it was on his birthday too. May is not July. They are really spinning this one. Let's hope the press keeps the details alive..afterall wasn't it the details that brought Nixon down?

p.s. thanks for finding the source of that other article.
