Los Angeles Times - WASHINGTON — Before he was president, before he was governor, before he was an oilman or ran a professional baseball team, or was widely known as the drifting and carousing son of a famous father, George Walker Bush flew airplanes. He earned his pilot wings lifting F-102 interceptor jets off of a Texas Air National Guard tarmac in Houston.

The Times plays dumb on Bush Guard story 09/24/2004 11:28 AM
The New York Times today announced why the story of president Bush's suspect Texas Air National Guard duty has taken hold as a campaign issue, while attacks on Sen. John Kerry's war record have. Politely ignoring the fact that the original Swift Boat Veterans for Truth allegations turned out to be fictitious, the Times declares Bush's Guard story didn't work because it's old news, having already been fleshed out in 2000. Writes the Times' Jodi Wilgoren, "Much of the public had already confronted similar questions about Mr. Bush's service during the 2000 race, and voters judge incumbents far more on their time in the White House than on personal history, so the issue was already a hard sell."

AP: Pentagon Finds Bush's Guard Records. The Pentagon on Friday released newly discovered payroll records from President Bush's 1972 service in the Alabama National Guard, though the records shed no new light on the future president's activities during that summer. A Pentagon official said the earlier contention that the records were destroyed was an "inadvertent oversight."

Perhaps Elvis was holding the records for safe-keeping.
