Geroge W. Bush Arrested for drunk driving.....28 years ago today

[Obamarama]

September 4, 1976: George W Bush is arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine for driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.10 percent. He pays the $150 fine and has his driving privileges suspended for a month. Years later, during Bush's 2000 campaign for President, a WPXT-TV reporter from Portland, Maine uncovers the arrest record just one week prior to election day.

It is also revealed that Bush's V.P. candidate, Dick Cheney, had arrests for drunken driving in 1962 and 1963.

1. By the way, WPXT doesn't have a news desk anymore

Take that as you will. ;)

2. I recall that there were major questions

about it in the last election.

Have not seen a word about it in this election.
Remember in the 00 election, they said it was a last minute smear?

It always astounds me that when they dish the dirt it is compelling.
When we dish the dirt,especially something that is TRUE,then and only then is it labeled a smear.

I remember when the LA Times worked for weeks to get all the facts in the Arnold gropper story. It was a fine piece of work for the journalists. What happened, Republicans said it was a "last minute smear."

Guess what, Aaaarold the Gropper was elected and the Times got a terrible backlash for telling the truth.

The moral of this story is that the DUI is based on fact. They can dig up lies on Kerry in Vietnam and no one can dare touch the DUI --why?!
