-Caveat Lector-
I have just a few problems with this DUI story. One, Dubya's verbal evasions
refer to it only as the "mistakes" made in his "youth." Despite the fact
that, as we get older, we tend to see all significantly younger people as
"young," I think most people, myself included, don't include age 30--the age
at which Dubya drank and drove (and got caught, because if he got caught
once, statistics say he did it a hundred times more) in the concept of
"youth." Gosh, those "youngsters" are usually thought of as teenagers. I
think we need to investigate the Texas troupers' records of later
years--including arrests that Daddy Bush had wiped--rather than just
reacting to this one report.
Second, Bush has said he stopped drinking '14 years ago"--which would
make him 40--10 years AFTER the arrest. He says of the arrest "I learned my
lesson!" but apparently the learning took 10 years to sink in. In between
times, he appears to have been adrinkin' and adrivin', and just not atellin'
Ole Daddy Bush. If dumbbell Dubya is elected, and it takes him ten years to
learn a lesson, he'll be out of office before he "larns his lesson!" if he
makes mistakes that cause disaster to the country wrong-headed enough to
elect him.
Why is this important? For one thing, WHERE ARE THE MOTHERS AGAINST
DRUNK DRIVERS--MADD--IN THIS DISCUSSION? HOW HAVE THEY BEEN SILENCED?????
Presently, drinking and driving is viewed as a heinous and irresponsible
crime. In California, where I live, ONE DUI ARREST ( at only .08 blood
alcohol--Dubya's was .12--half again as high) will cost drivers automatic
license revocation for three months, AND they need to go to behaviorial
school, AND they get mopped through the court system for a year, the
insurance company cancels them and they need special insurance policies.
'Two friends told me ruefully that their (first and only) DUIs cost them
$10,000 apiece. Jail is also a possibility for the judge to impose.
Why aren't these "concerned mothers" speaking up? Have they been either
bought off--or terrorized into silence--by Dubya's campaign coerscion
specialists?
Parallel question: what about Dubya's compulsive tastes for cocaine?
WHERE ARE ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SOLD IT TO HIM!!!! WHERE ARE ALL THE
ACQUAINTANCES WHO KNEW DAMN WELL WHAT HE WAS DOING!!! Same question: by what
strongarm methods have THEY been silenced during the election?
The first election I remember directly is the 1960 one, Kennedy vs.
Nixon. Every election from that one forward has eloquently demonstrated that
each side plays dirty pool; I cheerfully admit that the political process
largely disgusts me. Yet I cannot EVER remember a candidate so OBVIOUSLY
DERELICT, lamebrained, owned-by-conniving-corporate-interests and
MOTIVATIONALLY AND INTELLECTUALLY unqualified as Bush is. I can only assume
that the largescale corporate ownership of the media has put a blockade
between the truth about this degenerate scumbag and the public's need to
know, and a falsifying spin on every embarassing fact that nevertheless
manages (as this DUI story did) to escape the censorship barricade. I only
wish all the mothers and neighborhood activists who scream so loudly against
"drunk drivers!" and "protecting our children against drugs!" would scream
now.
