Wait — before I go…
Apparently it came out in the news that George W. Bush was arrested for drunk driving in 1976. Big deal, it was twenty-four years ago, right? Well that’s what I thought until I read this quote. When he was asked why he didn’t disclose the incident earlier, Bush said, “I didn’t want my girls to do the same thing. I’m not trying to get away with anything. I didn’t want to talk about this in front of my daughters. I didn’t want them drinking and driving. It was a decision I made.”
So he is saying that if he talked to his daugheters about the incident, and discussed with them why it was a stupid mistake, he would be afraid that they would make the same mistake? He was afraid his daughters would drink and drive if they found out their father made a bad judgment call? Maybe I’m missing the point here, but I don’t think so. I this this guy is just crazy.
I truly dislike politics.
