"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message k.net... "Ragnar" wrote in message ... "WalterM140" wrote in message om... 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." www.pro-war.com/prowardotcom/2004/week12/ Brooks |

"Steven P. McNicoll"
A witness did come forward and Trudeau paid. If that were true, you could name this person. Trudeau donated the money to the USO. Walt |

From the start, the reward was not to be paid to the witness, it was to be paid to the USO. After the witness came forward Trudeau very quickly, and very quietly, paid off as promised. |

"Ragnar" wrote in message ... A witness did come forward and Trudeau paid. Cite? "Q: Is there some sort of hitch? A: Well, yes, but it's a hitch for a good cause. The winner won't actually receive the reward for himself; instead we'll be donating $10,000 in his name to the USO. That way everyone's a winner, including GBT's tax accountant." http://doonesbury.msn.com/strip/bush_guard.html CASE CLOSED: Four weeks ago, "Doonesbury" creator Garry Trudeau announced in his cartoon strip the "Bush Guard Service" contest: "We're offering $10,000 cash to any witness who can definitively corroborate Mr. Bush's claim" that three decades before he became President, he served in the Alabama National Guard. "So if you served with Mr. Bush - even if only in the officers' club - we want to hear from you right now! Why? So we can put this trash story to rest and get back to the real issues." Well, 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. But has Trudeau's check cleared? "Oh, I think he's good for it." http://www.nydailynews.com/front/sto...p-152467c.html |

Steven, what is so hard to understand about, "It turns out that no credible witness has come forward to claim the prize..."? The money was offered up as an individual reward--he only gave it to the USO after he claimed no credible witness had come forward. Do a Google on it. Even you should be able to handle that difficult task. Yes, Kevin, I can perform a Google search. If you were capable of that rather simple task you might have learned that the Trudeau prize was NOT offered up as an individual reward. See the last of the FAQs below: http://doonesbury.msn.com/strip/bush_guard.html For the past twelve years, George W. Bush has had to endure charges that he didn't take the final two years of his Guard service as seriously as duty required. (For updated timeline, click here.) And the two witnesses who have come forward in support so far haven't exactly cleared things up. We at the Town Hall believe that with everything he has on his plate, Mr. Bush shouldn't have to contend with attacks on the National Guard, which is serving so bravely in Iraq. And we're willing to back up our support with cold, hard cash. Granted, this has been tried before. In 2000, concerned veterans in both Texas and Alabama offered cash rewards to lure former guardmates of Mr. Bush into stepping forward, to no avail. The problem, in our view, was that these enticements weren't serious enough, that the sums offered were insulting. In contrast, we at the DTH&WP respect how inconvenient it can be to subject yourself to worldwide media scrutiny in general, and Fox News in particular, and are thus prepared to sweeten previous offers by a factor of five. That's right, we're offering $10,000 cash! Yours to either spend or invest in job creation. All you have to do is definitively prove that George W. Bush fulfilled his duty to country. So don't let the smear artists define the president. If you personally witnessed George W. Bush reporting for drills at Dannelly Air National Guard Base between the months of May and November of 1972 we want to hear about it. Help Mr. Bush put this partisan assault on his character behind him, so he can focus on more serious issues like jobs, the deficit and the coming civil war in Iraq. Just contact us below with the salient details. If we think you're a possible winner, we'll get back to you pronto. Good luck to all contestants! Contest FAQs Q: Isn't this just a publicity stunt? A: If by a publicity stunt, you mean an attempt to draw attention to the problem of gutter politics, trolling-for-trash, and cheap smear tactics, then sure, guilty as charged. Q: What if I saw Bush, but I can't prove it? Can I get some of the money? A: No, but if your story's entertaining enough, you may qualify for our consolation prize, an original Doonesbury strip personally signed by a top studio intern. Q: Haven't you done something like this before? A: Yes, only in reverse -- the goal was implication, not exoneration. In 1992, we offered an Austin Powers-like $25.00 to anyone willing to admit she slept with a presidential candidate. The entry form was multiple-choice with a few essay questions (e.g. "You're dating a married father of three with presidential ambitions. You believe that you and he have a future together. Explain.") There were no takers. Q: The DTH&WP is a media content web site, which means you're broke. Who's paying the reward? A: The reward is being generously underwritten by Doonesbury creator G. B. Trudeau. The money has been put in escrow and is being administered by Universal Press Syndicate. Q: It's really in escrow? A: No, but we're good for it. Thanks to Bush's massive tax cuts for people who don't need them, GBT is flush. Q: Are employees of Universal Press Syndicate, Slate or Microsoft eligible for the contest? A: Only if no one else comes forward. Q: Is there some sort of hitch? A: Well, yes, but it's a hitch for a good cause. The winner won't actually receive the reward for himself; instead we'll be donating $10,000 in his name to the USO. That way everyone's a winner, including GBT's tax accountant. |

Yours to either spend or invest in job creation." Now tell us again how he recognized one of the witnesses as being credible? Can you point out which witness was allegedly found to be credible by Mr. Trudeau and Co.? As to where the money was destined, it seems the ad posits two differing claims--the one above, and the one about it going to the USO.
