Former President Bush made a trip to Ohio earlier this week to stump for the current President Bush. The topic of CBS News (with which he tangled as President) came up in his speech:
“This disgraceful thing with CBS, trying to malign our son’s service as a jet pilot, was insidious,” Bush told about 300 Republican supporters at a private ballroom in Columbus.
It’s really too bad that the Ohio (instead of Houston and/or Texas) press actually is reporting former President Bush’s reaction to MemoGate, a scandal with many Texas connections. As pointed out previously, the Houston Chronicle should have owned this story, including this local angle. Instead, they’ve largely been shown up by the national press, the Ohio press, and even the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung.
