Your problem Greg is you have a reading comprehension problem.
This is what was said according to the article you linked to:
Recalls Memphian Mintz, now 63: “I remember that I heard someone was coming to drill with us from Texas. And it was implied that it was somebody with political influence. I was a young bachelor then. I was looking for somebody to prowl around with.â€
Not:
"But Bob Mintz, who was a pilot in the 187th during that period, says that Bush's transfer was the subject of considerable scuttlebutt at the time and they were all eager to get a look at him. According to a story in the Memphis Flyer today, they never did."
The difference is that Mintz didn't say it was Bush, rather what he said was "somebody with political influence". Now, Bush senior had yet to be a vice President or President by this time. Though he was involved in politics, as was his father, Prescott Bush. All I can say is if this had generated "considerable scuttlebutt" then these guys must have been dreadfully bored.
