And here are some other GOP luminaries who never served in Vietnam, but
join the teeming mob of right wing zealots in labeling Democrats as
draft dodgers.
(The list includes previously mentioned Vietnam cowards):
Elliott Abrams - Sought deferment for bad back.
Richard Armey - Sought
college deferment, too smart to die.
Bill Bennett - Sought graduate school deferment, too smart to die. Pat
Buchanan - Sought deferment for bad knee.
George W. Bush Daddy got him in the National Guard.
Dick Cheney - Sought graduate school deferment, too smart to die.
Tom DeLay - - Sought college deferment, too smart to die.
Newt Gingrich - Sought graduate school deferment, too smart to die.
Phil Gramm - Sought marriage deferment, too loved to die.
Jack Kemp - Sought medical deferment while in the NFL
Rush Limbaugh - Sought deferment for ingrown hair follicle on his ass.
Trent Lott - Sought deferment, didn't want to muss his hair.
P.J. O'Rourke - Sought deferment, too stoned.
Dan Quayle - Family got him into the Reserves.
Pat Robertson - Father pulled him out of Korea as soon as the shooting
began. Kenneth Starr Sought deferment for psoriasis.
John Wayne - Sought deferment to further acting career..
Vin Weber - Sought deferment for asthma.
George Will - Sought deferment, too much of a wussy.
(thanks to http://www.rackjite.com/chawks.htm for this list) We¼ve
also heard from readers (since we first posted this list) that the
current GOP Governor of Michigan and a big Bush partisan got
out of the draft for being overweight.
