Documentary filmmaker and longtime Michael Moore collaborator Meghan O’Hara is currently working on a feature-length documentary about George W. Bush’s military service in the Texas Air National Guard, The Observer has learned.

Ms. O’Hara, who field-produced Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11, is in the early stages of getting the project off the ground. According to a source with knowledge of the situation, Ms. O’Hara’s New York–based production company, HonestEngineTV, does not yet have a venue for the documentary and is still seeking funding.

The veteran producer (who has a long list of screen credits, including directing a 1998 HBO-Cinemax documentary, Roe vs. Roe: Baptism by Fire and producing Mr. Moore’s Sicko) has already shot enough preliminary footage to complete work on a trailer for the film. HonestEngineTV, we’re told, is currently shopping it to potential partners, including HBO and the Weinstein Company.

If successfully funded, Ms. O’Hara’s project would be the first major, in-depth documentary to dig into the murky subject. Reached on Monday morning, Ms. O’Hara declined to comment.

1. Frat boy

gets billet in champaign unit to avoid going to war. Champaign billet available because Daddy happens to be a congressman. Frat boy is not a team player and eventually deserts to avoid a drug test. Frat boy fails to make O-3, (to military personnel this a total disgrace and sign of failure.) Karl Rove does his best to ensure truth about matter never sees the light of day.

Conservatives cheer frat boys bravery and conservative values for 35 years while trashing American hero John Kerry who was shot at and hit while serving in War for his country.

I wish Ms Ohara the best of luck with her endeavor.
