Int'l Movie Database has some interesting info on Shrub...
I had no idea how many times he has been arrested:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0124133/bio

Arrested in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol, in Kennebunkport, ME. Pled guilty, paid fine, and had driver's license suspended for 30 days.

Has been arrested twice, once for stealing a large Christmas wreath from a hotel, and once for ripping down the Princeton goal posts after the Princeton-Yale game (source: MSNBC.com).

---------------------------------------------------

So, I see theivery and destruction are still part of his repetoire....

Arrest records run in the family too:

His twin daughters have been in trouble with the law in recent months. In October 2000, Barbara tried to use a fake ID to buy alcohol at a bar in New Haven, Connecticut but was not served and was not arrested. In February 2001, Jenna sent her Secret Service agents to bail her friend out of jail after he had been arrested for underage drinking. In April 2001, Barbara gave her Secret Service agents the slip while on her way to a WWF match in NYC. Also in April 2001, Jenna was cited for underage drinking at an Austin bar and pled no contest to the charges. She paid $51.25 in court costs, performed 8 hours of community service doing clerical and research work at the Mexic-Arte Museum in Austin, Texas, and attended 6 hours of alcohol awareness classes. In May 2001, both Barbara and Jenna were cited for alcohol offenses. Barbara pled no contest to being a minor in possession of alcohol and was sentenced to probation, 8 hours of community service, alcohol awareness classes, and a $100 fine. Jenna pled innocent to trying to buy alcohol with a fake ID and will be tried in Austin, TX on July 31, 2001.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Some say there is a genetic component to alcoholism.

And my favorite: Is the first US president to hold an MBA.

Too bad he hasn't done anything with it. But check out that GPA from Yale: His cumulative undergraduate GPA at Yale was 2.35.

:dunce:

2. 30 days my ass
Bush tried to claim he had his license revoked for thirty days, and the media dutifully reported it. However, his arrest record showed he lost his "right to operate" a vehicle for over a year. They tried to pretend it was his first offense, but with that long a suspension, it had to be his third or fourth. His first action as governor of Texas was to have his old license number purged, do know one can know for sure.

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/bushdmv1.html

Notice: suspended 10/26/76. Restored 7/25/78.

The worst case of the media unquestioningly repeating what Karen Hughes told them was CNN. They had a story describing Bush's 30 day suspension, and in a sidebar they linked to his arrest warrant, which clearly shows he lost his right to drive for almost two years.

Oh yeah, and his twins? Arrested for shoplifting as juveniles, according to my sources, none of which I will reveal.
