Boss, at the next news conference, when the inevitible question of your Air National Guard service comes up, I would suggest this response:
Look, I’m not interested in talking about what happened thirty years ago. I’m interested in the present and future. I believe the vast majority in this country feel the same. If those of you in the news media are that interested, I suggest you take a look at my military and medical records from that era and compare them to those of Senator Kerry. All my records have been released to the public forum. If Senator Kerry feels as strongly as you seem to, he will approve the release of all his military and medical records for review so that you folks may slice and dice to your hearts’ content. Next question.”
