<snip>

Bush's summons to serve as a juror in the drunken-driving case was, in retrospect, a fateful moment in his political career: by getting excused from jury duty he was able to avoid questions that would have required him to disclose his own 1976 arrest and conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) in Kennebunkport, Maine—an incident that didn't become public until the closing days of the 2000 campaign.

Oh Al helped him get excused. Civic duty means nothing to them if it doesn't serve the agenda.

3. Sorry if I sounded jaded. In fact, this is the template for B* behavior.
There is perfect consistency between the public and the private gestures: equal and opposite.

I've been thinking for a coupla days of starting a new forum dedicated just to the translating and countering of the Rovian neonazi cr$p. Because it is highly effective.

If you have 2.5 kids and a mortgage and a car payment and Christmas shopping, how much TIME do you have to decipher the mendacity? And meanwhile, the whole world half believes we BACK these guys.

Thanks for posting,
Beth
