Oh, but this I don't agree with. You obviously have never heard him give an interview on the subject. On Oprah, while he was running, Bush said that he was an alcoholic, saw how badly it screwed up his own life, joined AA and is now in favor of more drastic punishment for offenders because of it. I don't think that's at all hypocritical. Jon Le Blog: http://zarq.livejournal.com _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
