Bush is the Boozer. He's got the DWI's to prove it too.
Top Gun Bush could face John Kerry challenge
NEXT year s presidential election in the USA could develop into an interesting contest if Senator John F. Kerry gets the Democratic nomination. Here is an interesting snippet from the Boston Globe:
"The President s recent Top Gun moment when he donned full military regalia, co-piloted a US navy fighter plane and then declared victory over Iraq from the flight deck of a US aircraft carrier has been hailed as a genius campaign advert for the 2004 election.. But he may find that this "flamboyant" PR exercise comes back to haunt him.
"By playing war hero for a day, Bush risked drawing attention to something the public had almost forgotten about: his draft-dodging past. During the Vietnam War, Bush managed to avoid combat thanks to some string-pulling on his father s part. Instead, he joined the Texas Air National Guard, where his performance was abysmal: military records show that his attendance was consistently poor until his final year of service, when he didn t bother showing up at all.
"This undistinguished record didn t matter during the 2000 election: Bush, after all, was following Clinton, who also avoided serving in Vietnam. But Clinton never pretended to be a soldier, and neither should Bush. His most likely opponent in next year s election will be Massachusetts Senator John F. Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran. When he s up against the real thing, Bush may come to regret his Top Gun moment."
George W. could find himself in a sticky wicket in the fall of next year.
