NEW YORK: It seems America's first citizen, President George Bush was hardly a moral citizen as a youngster, instead, he was an aimless, inconsiderate and womanising drunkard who was too lazy to work, often got picked up by the police, and used his senator grandfather's clout to get away with everything, reveals an article in the Rolling Stone magazine.
According to the New York Daily News, the author of the article interviewed Bush's colleagues at the time when he was campaigning for the Alabama Senate candidate Winton Blount, and found that Bush would show up for work only for a few hours, and all he ever did was hang out with his drinking buddies and date local women.
His former co-workers also divulged that Bush's wild partying ways would often get him into trouble with the police, but got out away with everything because his grandfather, Prescott Bush was a senator at the time. Bush also shirked his National Guard drills as often as he could.
"George had one story he told a lot... about how he was always getting picked up by the police in New Haven during his time at Yale, and how they would always let him go when they found out his grandfather was (former Senator) Prescott Bush. ... I thought it was stunning. He knew he was bulletproof because of his family," the report quotes Bush's former colleague Murphy Archibald as saying. |
