 BOSTON (Reuters) - President-elect Bush's controversial candidate for

 Under Selective Service guidelines in force in 1967, the exemption from
 service was allowed for people holding jobs deemed critical to the civilian

Come on guys, he did just what everyone who could did.  I think that Al Gore
may have been the only one inside the Beltway who wore a uniform during the
war in Vietnam.  Those who couldn't get a deferment, joined the Air Force.
We had tons of guys in the Air Force who decided it was better than being
drafted into the Army and ending up in the infantry.  I know they've been
yodeling about Clinton being a draft dodger for the past eight years, but
like the sex stuff and all the rest of the garbage that was presented as the
most awful thing that ever happened in the history of the world, those who
were spreading the Clinton material were dodging the draft and having affairs
(including oral sex).  Which reminds me, did anyone ever come up with the
name of the junior congressman who was having a fling with Lewinsky at the
same time she was snapping her thong at the Prez?  Prudy

Report: Ashcroft Got Vietnam War Draft Deferment

BOSTON (Reuters) - President-elect Bush's controversial candidate for
attorney general, John Ashcroft, received a deferment from military service
to teach business law to undergraduates at the height of the Vietnam War, the
Boston Globe reported on Tuesday.

Under Selective Service guidelines in force in 1967, the exemption from
service was allowed for people holding jobs deemed critical to the civilian
economy such as chemists, engineers and mathematicians, the Globe said.

The newspaper's report comes on the same day that Ashcroft, 58, a former U.S.
senator from Missouri, hailed by conservatives and condemned by liberals, is
to appear at his confirmation hearings in the Senate.

The newspaper's review of the decisions made by Ashcroft's local draft board
found that it gave less than 4 percent of the men born in 1942, as Ashcroft
was, such deferments. The occupation deferments allowed the men to avoid
military service.

Southwest Missouri State University offered Ashcroft, then 25 years old, the
job three months before his graduation from law school.

Ashcroft could not be reached for comment. Mindy Tucker, a spokeswoman for
president-elect Bush told the Globe the university was ``pretty adamant''
about having the new law school graduate teach there.

``He was not seeking to avoid military service,'' she told the newspaper,
adding that Ashcroft supported U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
