Absolutely correct. I guess you already know about Dick Cheney and his DUI, and Laura Bush running a stop sign and killing her boyfriend.
Do you feel safer now?

As one of THOSE Democrats..the answer is yes:
Convicted of Drunk Driving, and Lied to Cover It Up
George Bush now admits that he was convicted of drunk driving. On September 4, 1976, a state trooper saw Bush's car swerve onto the shoulder, then back onto the road. The Bush camp spin that he was driving too slowly is simply a lie. Bush failed a road sobriety test and blew a .10 blood alcohol, plead guilty, and was fined and had his driver's license suspended. His spokesman says that he had drunk "several beers" at a local bar before the arrest. Bush was 30 at the time. He now says that he stopped drinking when he turned 40 because it was a problem.
More troubling, Bush lied in denying such an arrest, and still won't take responsibility for his actions. His first reaction was to blame Democrats and Fox News -- the only openly conservative TV network -- for reporting the story. "Why [was this reported] now, four days before the election? I've got my suspicions." He refused to say what his suspicions are, though. Bush admits covering up the story, but seems to think he has no responsibility for the failure of his cover up.
In fact, just like Clinton with Monica Lewinsky, Bush has brazenly and repeatedly lied to cover up and minimize this arrest.
Go to the source listed and read on for all the dates he lied about it to the media....lol..he's an ***! God Bless America

he was arrested for DUI...but not convicted....it came out right before the election with Gore...well he was convicted but worked a deal so that after a period of time it would be expunged from his record as if it never happened.

I thought I heard something about this..
But if we got pissed at everyone over something like that... um... yeah.. there'd be a lot less presidents out there.
I think there's more important things out there than Bush getting drunk or a little stoned... in the past none-the-less.

Yes. The issue came up during his first presidential campaign. He admitted it.

He's still a drunk...
Look at the facial damage his
so called choking on a pretzel did!
(More like so drunk on Southern Comfort
that he tripped on his shoelaces!)

Not sure. I don't think so. He had his battles with alchohol and drugs, but found God and was born again. So he's pretty much been forgiven by his base for his youthful indescretions.
Clinton was born again too, but it didn't work for him. Go figure.

There are probably more than this. His Texas driving record has "mysteriously" disappeared.
He is the first president to enter office with a criminal record.

before he got saved, he was an alcoholic. he has been clean and sober for a number of years now. not like Kennedy, who (hick up, hick up) can't leave the booze alone.
