Why can't Bush talk about what he was doing back then?

[michigandem2]

everyone wants to torch Kerry for what he did in his early 20's but at least his was a brave act...I mean wasn't bush snorting coke and avoiding service all together...WHY OH WHY can't someone make bush defend HIS 20's??? i mean JESUS H CHRIST....its so stupid-do they really want to go there?

Does not flesh out one's political CV.

2. I believe he told the media last election

That he didn't want to talk about his past, because he didn't want it to influence his daughters. I'm not exactly sure, but it is certain that not very many people can just get away with not explaining some of the things that Bush has avoided.

3. someone should be bringing it up

we ALL do something stupid when we are young..but good GOD Kerry protesting a war he found to be unnecessary was not a BAD thing to do he was speeking out...and they are flaming him for it now with the new swift fuck ads...
I am angry that * gets a pass--he should be avoiding this thing like the plague...but if no one calls him on it..then why not keep poking...

4. I'd love to see that done.

I'm waiting very impatiently for MoveOn to do their own Bush-20s ad. Turnabout is fair play, correct?

5. If he has nothing to hide

why does he keep it hidden?
