1. well, i'm not a rumor monger but....

...there is a rumor out there that bush not only snorted kilos of cocaine, he actually smuggled large amounts of it into the states with bro jeb, under daddybush's auspices. not that i believe every little rumor i hear. i also heard that he was arrested, more than once for drunkeness and selling cocaine. i also heard an ugly rumor that he did no jail time, but was ordered to do community service but DID NOT SHOW UP to complete it. sound familiar?

but then, i'm not one to go around spreading gossip.

2. He was arrested for stealing a Christmas tree

don't know if he was sentenced, fined, or put on probation....

and there was at least on DUI, I believe, that hasn't been purged from his records.

3. he was issued a brand new driver's license too

expunged is the word used. a new serial number, totally erasing all traces of any d.u.i.'s. that was about 5 years ago i think, but then, i don't want to spread any baseless rumors

4. Shouldn't discuss sex with under-aged girls - first in Mexico - then

with child of 15 that he had to get an abortion for, and then Daddy got her a husband, and she says she plans to vote for Bush (see the CNN -Larry interview), followed by Daddy telling him to go to Ala - to get out of Texas - as related by Daddy's friend - during which time he skipped medical and was grounded -

but that only goes to "old character qualities" - not the post 1980 born again who since the late 80's has not done coke and since the mid 90's has not done booze - or so they say.

Does anyone remember Iran Contra, CIA selling coke for the Reagan Admin? Daddy Bush was ex head of CIA and then vice president. Hmmmmmm.

7. Howdy and welcome!

Yes, you are entirely correct. Plus, the bastards were pardoned by the elder Bush. (and scored their own tv shows)
