CNN: "A Flyboy's Story: George Bush in World War II"!?

[Newsjock]

Apparently that's the title of a new documentary coming up this weekend.

A Flyboy's Story: George Bush in World War II
The 41st president returns to where he was shot down over the Pacific Ocean

Curious timing, yes?

1. I geuss that is the between the two other stories

"Prescott Bush: Nazi Money Supplier" and


"Flying Dinosaurs: W in the National Guard."

2. Wow--father and son war heroes!

That's going to be the take for the average American.

[speckledgator]

10. That's exactly the

reason it will be on....our tv-literate co-americans will see that and remember dubya on the aircraft carrier....bingo!

3. Guess it's a better title than

He Bailed Out First and Left His Crewmates to Die: George Bush in World War II

[glarius]

4. In the promo CNN is showing, Bush sr. is heard saying "I'm plagued by the

thought that God spared me and not the other two." This is probably going to be the theme of the message....Humble, old George, declaring his unworthiness and grateful that God spared him!....:puke:

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

God didn't spare, he spared himself.

Wish I had the courage to bail out and let my friends die.

5. That's what I heard too.

I wonder how hard it is to find the source of this info? Then Prescott was a "war hero" too. Said he save General Pershing's life, but it turned out to be not true. Seems like a pattern of lying and fraud for almost a century.

7. a hero to somebody

> Prescott was a "war hero" too.

Hitler certainly would have thought so.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

8. And what a surprise..

..who's the host of this sure-to-be-patriotic program? PAULA ZAHN, our favorite media whore! That woman doesn't even try to hide her extreme Fox-like pro-Republican bias. Her show, "Paula Zahn Now", kicked off its first episode with a George Bush Sr. intervew--and now he gets this entire propaganda puff piece? Not to mention her hiring of Victoria Clarke, the Pentagon spokeswoman, one of the most putrid media hirings in a while.

CNN can't out-Fox Fox, but Paula Zahn sure can!

9. I know what

I'm not going to be watching...!

[MountainLaurel]

11. Glad I don't have cable

I'd hate to think that my hard-earned dollars would be supporting this propaganda in any form. Grrrrrr.

How much you wanna bet that the less intelligent among U.S. residents get the two Bush flyboys confused?

:nuke:

12. This is going to remembered

as a turning point in the public's perception of *. You see, the face of poopy on the little screen will only serve to re-inforce the fact that dim son is an AWOL National Guardsman. He avoided combat by staying behind and snorting his way through his "service years". The public is going to be exposed to that in large numbers - while the casualties mount in Iraq and he looks like the only person on the planet who would manage to look like a dork on the deck of an aircraft carrier. He tooled around that ship with this look. I wonder what the soldiers on the ship thought. I'm sure there were a few llibs in the crowd.
