Bush's driving records disclosed
By Dave Moniz and Jim Drinkard, USA TODAY
The White House disclosed information in documents Thursday showing that President Bush (news - web sites) had been arrested once for a college prank and was cited for two automobile accidents and two speeding tickets before he enlisted in the National Guard.

The accidents and tickets were disclosed for the first time in response to questions about a portion of Bush's military record that had been blacked out when the file was made public during the 2000 presidential campaign.

The traffic violations are significant in the context of Bush's military career. At the time Bush enlisted in the Texas National Guard, the Air Force typically would have had to issue a waiver for an applicant who had multiple arrests or driving violations.

An officer who served at the same time as the president, former Texas Air National Guard pilot Dean Roome, was required by the Air Force to get a waiver for a $25 speeding ticket when he enlisted in the Air National Guard in 1967.

1. I wonder if that record shows his original driver's license number.

To get the accident and speeding ticket data wouldn't the enlistment office need his Texas DL number?

4. McClellan calls this a conspiracy theory?

That George W. Bush received 'special rights' in relation toward others in the air national guard is not a conspiracy.

5. It is a conspiracy, just not the way

Scotty thinks it is. It represents a conspiracy on the part of those who enabled Bush to get into the Guard in the first place and, possibly, those who piled on the "gratuitous" service points and let him get out of his Guard commitment early. Of course, among the well connected, this is not a "conspiracy" but merely collaboration among the self-entitled.
