It's a marvel, really. Even a $10,000
reward offered this year by the cartoonist Garry Trudeau couldn't
smoke out a credible eyewitness to support George W. Bush's contention
that he showed up to defend Alabama against the Viet Cong in 1972.


Which leads to the rather unstartling conclusion that no such witness
exists, and that Bush was present. Rather bad for your Bush-bashing.


A witness did come forward and Trudeau paid.

No, Steven, he did not pay the reward to any witness, despite at least one
credible one coming forward. "It turns out that no credible witness has come
forward to claim the prize, so this week Trudeau mailed a personal check for
$10,000 to the USO. "We're extremely grateful for his generosity," USO Vice
President John Hansen told me yesterday."
