"If someone committed a crime, they will no longer work in my administration." (President Bush, 7/18/05)


So, how many convicted criminals already work in the WH? I'd love to see some newly spined reporter ask Scotty tomorrow is those people have been given their 2 week notices.

3. Bush has been arrested three times, Cheney twice

How many people do you personally know who have been arrested three times?

[Dr.Phool]

11. Only three?

[Poiuyt]

15. Excluding the arrests that were purged from his record

Just why was he doing that community service in Texas back in the 70's (did Poppy get him off of the cocaine charge)?

And why did he get a new drivers license when he became governor of Texas and all the previous records were destroyed?

2. Better Quote From 2001

Shrub said this back in 2001, of course, it took someone on DU to find the quote, but it says a lot....or rather....a little about Shrub's truthfulness.

Bush Urges High Ethical Standards
NewsMax.com Wires
Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2001
WASHINGTON (UPI) – President Bush witnessed the swearing-in of his White House staff Monday and said he expected them to avoid even the appearance of impropriety and to conduct themselves with humility and civility at all times.

In an East Room ceremony, Vice President Dick Cheney administered the oath of office to several dozen White House staff members. The oath is not unlike the oaths Bush and Cheney took Saturday, committing the oath-taker to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic," and "bear true faith and allegiance to the same."

After the oath was administered, Bush told the staff – and 100 or so family members on hand – "You all are here because you have my full confidence."

"Today, everything is so promising and new," the new president said. "I'm hoping the day will never come when any of us take this place for granted."

Bush warned that he expected his White House staff to meet the highest ethical standards, avoiding not only violations of law, but even the appearance of impropriety.

"We must remember the high standards that come with high office," he said. "This begins careful adherence with the rules. I expect every member of this administration to stay well within the boundaries define legal and ethical conduct.
