According to this story, Ed Morrissey Jr. was the man who swore George W. Bush into the Air National Guard and has some interesting opinions. He doesn’t think Bush received any sort of preferential treatment to get into the Guard, but what made me laugh out loud was Morissey’s views on the controversy over whether Bush and others received preferential treatment to get into the Guard,
This isn’t the first time a reporter called Morrisey asking whether or not Bush received preferential treatment. Shortly after Republicans nominated Bush for president in 2000, a reporter from Texas called Morrisey.
“That floored me. The only people that got preferential treatment was when Jimmy Carter pardoned those guys that went to Canada,” he said of individuals who fled to Canada to avoid the draft during the war in Vietnam.
