Proving Negatives - We have

We have a number of officers who do recall seeing George Bush on duty in Alabama thirty years ago.

So watch for the moonbat left to start trotting out an endless stream of people who don't remember him - as in this piece in the "Memphis Flyer", that city's equivalent of the "City Pages":

"Two members of the Air National Guard unit that President George W. Bush allegedly served with as a young Guard flyer in 1972 had been told to expect him and were on the lookout for him. He never showed, however; of that both Bob Mintz and Paul Bishop are certain."

And they are certain of this because...?:

Recalls Memphian Mintz, now 62: ?I remember that I heard someone was coming to drill with us from Texas. And it was implied that it was somebody with political influence. I was a young bachelor then. I was looking for somebody to prowl around with.? But, says Mintz, that ?somebody? -- better known to the world now as the president of the United States -- never showed up at Dannelly in 1972. Nor in 1973, nor at any time that Mintz, a FedEx pilot now and an Eastern Airlines pilot then, when he was a reserve first lieutenant at Dannelly, can remember.

Hm. I never met Bill Clinton, either - must mean he was never president.

So to the moonbat left, the word of someone who couldn't connect with someone who was on base once a month trumps the words of those who saw Bush on duty.

Next month - Atrios finds an Alzheimers patient who is certain George Bush doesn't even exist!
