Where was Bush? $10K to USO
Anyone? Anyone? "Doonesbury" creator Garry Trudeau apparently got no valid entries in his "Bush Guard Service" contest, in which he offered $10,000 to anyone who could "corroborate" President Bush's claim that he'd served in the Alabama National Guard. After waiting four weeks for someone, anyone, to come forward with proof of Bush's service, Trudeau gave up and mailed the prize money to the USO. (From Lloyd Grove's Lowdown, New York Post)

This is the first time I've heard about it. Maybe no one else did, either.

Possibly, but he is syndicated in 100s of newspapers and it was a running story line for a week or so. Now, lots of people may not have seen it or no one remembers Bush being there, or no one who saw Bush during the period also reads Trudeau, or those who saw Bush (like the psychics we all know and love) don't feel they need to prove anythign for the promise of monetary reward.
Anyway, no one responded...and all that means is that no one responded. |

well, there are a few people on record saying they saw bush there. Mind you, Doonesbury isn't even carried in the funnie pages in most newspapers, newspapers aren't as widely read anymore, and Doonesbury has been kinda lame ever since Reagan left office.

Yeah, maybe nobody knew about it. Yeah, that's the ticket.
