National Guard Status: AWOL

A note from Mom, a regular listener to the Jerry Bowyer Show on WPTT in Pittsburgh:

On Tuesday, someone called the Jerry Bowyer show and told this story-

In the 1960s I was in the Air National Guard at the Pittsburgh airport. There was a very famous name on the roster and I asked if that person was really here. I was assured by all the others that he was. Occasionally I saw him, but more often he was not there. I would ask and was told he was in Europe, or he was away or he had other business. He wasn’t there very much. His name was John Heinz.

So I guess John Kerry is calling his wife’s dead first husband the same names he calls George Bush.
