Bush releases arrest details
Here's a new drinking game...take a shot for every time Bush was arrested. I know I would be sh** faced drunk if I played the game!

Spokesman Scott McClellan revealed the information because of questions stemming from the fact that they were blacked out on National Guard forms given to US media, sparking more questions about Bush's actions 30 years ago.

McClellan said Bush had previously disclosed arrests for stealing a Christmas wreath while a student at Yale University, and for rowdiness at a football game.

McClellan also listed speeding tickets from July and August of 1964 and two collisions, one in 1962 and another in August 1962 - downplaying the Guard's decision to black out the information.

"I'm just amazed by the kinds of conspiracy theories that some have chosen to pursue," he said on board Air Force One.

16. I'm even older and neither have I: hopefully this release
includes positively every arrest in his entire life for that should forever put to rest any other allegations alluding to any other brushes with the law.

3. The blood is in the water

And the press is starting to nibble on pieces of Bush. They will soon be in a feeding frenzy. They simply CANNOT stop at this point.

The dam has finally sprung a leak. It's inevitable now that the cocaine usage and subsequent National Guard suspension will come to national attention.

9. That was in 1976, after his ANG time...
Scott claims this document was filled out in 1968, when Shrub joined.

6. to quote Scott ~"The American people deserve better.
They deserve an honest discussion about leadership in a time of war."

Well atleast he's right about one thing, we do deserve better.

8. Would love to get the question: How many times HAS Bush been arrested?
The mystery "Inner-City Poverty Program" stint he did in the early 70's sounds like "community service to me" - but what was the crime? (Does anyone actually believe George Bush would work on an Inner City Poverty Program unless it was ordered by a judge?)

The DUI in Maine?

???

11. What a bizzaro world.
Just think ~ we, the public, are in the position of trying to get a straight answer to the following question; "how many times has the pResident been arrested?!"

To quote, "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!" What would have the press have done if Al had been arrested an unknown number of times?

10. Didn't 3 more come out today and say, "bush*, national guard, alabama,
Nope doesn't ring a bell?" Also Scott McClellan said:

"The American people deserve better."

Yes Scott they do deserve better than bush*, hell yes!


"McClellan said the National Guard likely blacked out the records"

McClellan how arrogant of you to think the American people so stupid (well maybe on the republican side) but because you said "likely" in your quote its obvious YOU in the W.H. blacked out the embarrassing facts about bush* so GO TO THE BACK OF THE PLANE MCCLELLAN!

15. What's next...a 1963 Walgreen's cash register receipt?
We might as well add that to the pile of useless "records" we've gotten so far. Maybe he bought a pair of shoes in 1965 we'll be shown a receipt for to show that he "existed" during that time! This is ridiculous!
