$10,000 Unclaimed...

i don't think Kerry or Bush's activities, vis a vis military service 30 years ago, are particularly relevant, but it's interesting that a $10,000 reward to anyone who actually saw Bush in Guard Service has gone unclaimed ....

No Dice for Doonesbury
More than 1,300 people have responded to the Doonesbury comic strip's request for proof that President Bush did, in fact, serve in the Alabama National Guard during the Vietnam War. The first respondent to cough up credible evidence will receive a $10,000 reward in the form of a donation to the USO, which entertains U.S. troops. But, so far, the contest has yielded little fruit. "A credible witness would have turned up by now if there was one," said Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau. If one should crop up, the cartoonist plans to pay the $10,000 out of his own pocket, even though he admits it's "counterintuitive" for him to offer this support to the Dems. After all, Trudeau says, President Bush is "God's gift to cartoonists."

imo, the only thing that might make these activities a real issue is if somebody is lying about what they did or didn't do back then...
