IF this is the worst skeleton that must be dragged out from Bush's
closet...
then, is there really a problem with this? unless there was a chronic
problem with drinking...? This happened at what? Age 30? Hmmmmmm? That's
24 years ago. Let's see, and how old is he now? 54? and he has no other DUI
charges in 24 years? Sounds like he learned from the error of his ways.
Dragging this kind of ludicrous stuff in the mud only makes Gore look more
like an idiot every day.
