Will the Old Media Cover This?

Ed Morrisey Jr., the man who swore Bush into the Air Guard is finally speaking out. Hopefully someone will link this to Dan Rather. According to Morrisey:

"Bush and the others were flying several flights day or night over the Gulf of Mexico to identify the unknown,'' he said. The Cold War was a nervous time. You never knew. There were other things going on equally important to the country, and the Air National Guard had a primary role in it.''

Morrisey said the commander he worked for at the unit in Texas was sent there to rebuild the image of the unit. There were only two to four pilot training slots given to them per year, he said. Individuals questioned by an evaluation board and then chosen by the commander had to be the best.

Bush was selected and he turned out just fine,'' he said.
According to Morrisey, after Bush began working as a fighter pilot, he became regarded as one of the best pilots there. Unit commander Col. Maurice Udell considered Bush to be one of his top five pilots, Morrisey said.

The kid did good,'' he said.
Each pilot had to perform alert duty where they patrolled for unidentified aircraft during the threat of the Cold War, Morrisey said.

Bush Jr. did good for us,'' Morrisey said. ``He pulled alert and he did it all.''
