Was bush a good father when he was the governer of TX?

Question

when his daughter got caught, for drinking and being under age.

Answer 1

Obviously he was an absent father...but what's worse is Laura was an absentee Mother as well!! Shame on them both!

Answer 2

what does that have to do with anything? Why don't you ask if Jimmy Carter was a good father when Amy hooked up with Timothy Leary, a known drug pusher and addict? What about asking if ANY of the Kennedy's are good parents, while their inbred offspring go on drunken rampages and kill young girls.

Do you know any young girls who DON"T drink while underage? Do you know ANY young girls in college that DON'T go out partying? Do you think it's OK for the Hollywood actors that get caught time and time again with drugs or caught driving drunk, is that BETTER somehow? Or is it your blind hatred of GW that makes you want to ask such an inane question?

Answer 3

How the hell should I know? I didn't live with him. Neither did any of these other people that are giving lame answers to a question they just dont know.

So, his daugher got caught drinking underage. Does that make them bad parents? Did you ever drink underage? Or are you Miss Goodie Two Shoes.

Don't try and pretend ur **** dont stink. Nobody is perfect, not even the Bush's, or You.

Answer 4

What does this have to do with his ability to be a good parent? Didn't you ever run around and do stuff you weren't supposed to do when you were a teenager? Like drink when you were still underage? Does this make your parents bad parents? Of course not.

All it means is that they were teenagers doing something they weren't supposed to do. I, myself, drank many times underage at the very restaurant the Bush twins did and never got caught. The ONLY reason they got caught is because of their famous father.

Glass houses ... stones ... think about it.

Answer 5

Wasn't he president then?

Yes, these kids grew up with an alcoholic father and I am sure the family dynamics were close to any alcoholic family. This should have been addressed years ago but never was and still isn't!

My issue, even after 20 years of boozining (Bush said he quit but there is recent video of him drunk) Bush denies having a drinking problem.

He does have one, it is called alcoholism!!


Boozing Bush girls; President's daughters caught with a fake ID.

PRESIDENT BUSH'S twin teenage daughters were under police investigation last night for trying to buy alcohol with someone else's identification card.

Jenna and Barbara Bush, 19, who have permanent secret service minders, went into a Mexican restaurant in Austin, Texas, and produced identification to suggest they were above the state's legal drinking age of 21.

A suspicious assistant examined the ID and called 911, the police emergency number. A patrol car was sent and statements were taken from staff.

The president was given the news by ...

May 31, 2001 | I don't envy Jenna and Barbara Bush, going off to college under the watchful eye of the Secret Service and the international media. But the sudden flurry of headlines about the first twins' alcohol-related mishaps raises new questions about the way their father handled his own "young and irresponsible" past.

I always thought it was a bad decision for Bush, as a politician, to refuse to acknowledge his wild youth -- which, by his own account, lasted until he was 40. But now it seems it was a bad choice for Bush as a father. After his 1976 drunken-driving arrest was revealed last year, Bush said he didn't admit it when he decided to run for president because he didn't want his daughters to know about it. That was a mistake, and the twins' recent run of bad behavior seems designed to let him know that.

There's no evidence either twin has a drinking problem, but the string of news items involving their partying and scrapes with the law in the last few months can't be ignored. First came the tale of Secret Service agents ferrying home Jenna's boyfriend after he was arrested for public drunkenness. Then there were randy National Enquirer photos of Jenna, a University of Texas freshman, and a beer-drinking pal, and a story about her alleged marijuana use. Yale freshman Barbara, supposedly the studious twin, had a false I.D. confiscated at a New Haven, Conn., bar. In April, the Enquirer featured a lurid tale of Barbara's drunken spring-break binge in Mexico, and by the end of the month all major newspapers were carrying a story about Jenna being cited by police at an Austin bar for underage drinking, while Secret Service agents waited outside.

Now, barely a week after a court appearance to deal with that alcohol citation, Jenna has been caught again using a false I.D. to buy alcohol at an Austin restaurant, with sister Barbara at her side.
