Gentleman's Quarterly reveals secret Bush Vietnam mission

Sounds like bullsh!@#. Propaganda, and not very good propaganda at that... but this is just my opinion, fwiw...

Wouldn't it have been leaked to the Enquirer if they wanted the common man to believe it...???

PP

I know how ridiculous it reads. Which is why I didn't plunk down all those dollars for a copy to examine it more thoroughly. It did not seem as though the author was attempting satire, which is why I thought this might be of interest.

Hahaha! That is too funny to contemplate! Did you laugh out loud, Edgar? I would've!
I wonder if the story is online?

I've been searching.

I didn't find anything either, just humor and parodies.
A joke:

A letter somebody wrote:
Next they will appear just before the election showing bush was on a secret mission over
Vietnam that he was not free to talk about, and he was a super hero. He got FOUR, count em, FOUR purple hearts to Kerrys' three, and Four other medals to Kerrys three, WOWEE ZOWWIE!!! Sound stupid? Anything is possible with these guys, they lie folks, they sold you Halliburton, the country is safer and Bush is a good Christian so I am sure the stupid and uneducated who do not know the real meaning of being a true Christian or are to lazy to look for the truth will believe anything he tosses you, a bone to the dogs, say Woof and don't bark in hte next three years when he kicks you, you ain't needed no more.

And this on another forum: "Sakpo
Well if you think about logically Bush probably can't explain where he was for those three months because he spent them doing high risk, top secret, missions against the Vietcong in Tijuana."
Apparently it was satire!

Unconfirmed Sources report White House to release top secret documents to fill in Mr Bush's war record. These new documents prove that far from sipping mint juleps in a Louisiana whore house, Mr Bush was on a secret mission deep in enemy territory. According to White House insiders the mass of documents , nearly 200 lbs of them
including pictures, detail an amazing saga of courage and leadership that Mr Bush displayed in ferocious combat.
"We knew it has to be something like this." said a relieved junior White House staffer.
"We just couldn't believe that Mr Bush was a scaredy cat who used family connections to avoid the war, like the other chicken hawks in the administration."
Bush Service Files Contain Surprising Secret!
The White House released President Bush's military service files today, revealing details of his active participation in a top secret military project in 1971. "Yes, I did perform my duties as a jet pilot," said Bush at an early morning press conference. "However, I was involved in a top secret test of a highly classified jet ?- an INVISIBLE jet!"
The journalists were at first skeptical of the President's claim. But, they were soon convinced after viewing Bush's military records that contained photographs and diagrams of the jet and its inventor, Wonder Woman!

I found one site that said, When you look at Bush you see Jesus. Too sick.

So, it WAS a spoof. Maybe it's a pretty good magazine after all.

hahaha!

Yes, its true...and he stayed in a big tree with the rest of the Lost Boys and called Hook a codfish. Tink is the only thing his little pecker would fit into.

GQ, Where does your $$$ go?
Okay, not only BS, but if you look at the pics in the article, you can find discrepancies all over the place. Check out the pic of GW getting busted by Barbara for looking at porn. I seriously doubt she looked like that in 1971? Shame on you GQ. Stick to hot ass and ascots. Hard news for you is a fashion Faux-pas.

Life is odd - Vanity Fair has an extensive, and seemingly well researched, article about the flawed process of the Bushist decision to attack Iraq.

I didn't read the GQ article. I just enquired if anybody did.

Vanity Fair, eh? These articles pop up in the oddest places.

i read a good review of it earlier.

I suspect that increasingly we will turn to periodicals rather than dailies for quality discussions on political and social matters. TV is already something of a lost cause. The pressures and circumstances of the modern daily are not very facilitative to depth investigations.

I've got to say, it's clever of them.

Here's the article:
