So, Frank, now you're telling us what a good, forthright drunk Bush was when he was driving dangerously that evening? A real man behind the breathlyzer?

Frank, I suggest not to involve Gore's son. This can easily bring out some ugly incidents that occured within Bush family within the last couple of months. The issue here is they tried to hide it. A person running for presidency should have come clean on this issue instead of hiding behind the excuse that his teenage daughters should not know about it. I have a suspicion that there may be more that is being hidden.

Do you know the outcome of that arrest of the young gore? We're talking about GW now, not Gore's kid...it's not enough GW is hiding behind his own kids, now you've got him hiding behind Gore's kid... He did give sufficient information for any reasonable person to know he had things in his youth he was not proud of. Oh yeah, that 'blanket admission.' That'll flush only with the righties...non-partisan, undecided voters will not be as willing to compliantly sweep this mess under the rug. He acknowledged he drank too much. I believe we should be proud of his ability and strength to just stop in 1986. I wish private citizen GW good luck with his continued sobriety and hope it is genuine. As far as being President of the United States goes, it is a very serious issue that proves the centerpiece of GW's campaign, that he is the candidate of superior honor, integrity and superior moral fiber, has been built on clay footings. His longtime bout with the bottle is an even bigger concern to me than the DUI arrest. He tells the truth when asked. Is any rightie out there willing to admit to the hypocracy of this statement?! And this is ground already covered. Others have already quoted GW on Meet the Press, 1999...NO, GW did NOT tell the truth when asked. "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"

Re: "He (D-Dubya-I) tells the truth when asked." The "when asked" bit bothers me. D-Dubya-I should have come clean on this when he announced his run for the presidency. Then, like a mouse on TV last night, all he could do was (a) hide behind his daughters; (b) continuously question the timing of this revelation. Re: "We should be proud of his ability and strength to just stop in 1986": I got a problem with this, Frank. I'm highly suspicious of anyone who, all of a sudden, as if touched by an angel, "finds sobriety," "finds God," finds anything after 40 years of hell-raising and immaturity. All of a sudden, everything this person did up till age 40 "doesn't matter." Of course it matters. The other candidate, Al Gore, never had to "turn around" his life thusly. Think on that. But somehow we think it's more decent for a person to experience a conversion rather than lead a moral life from the get-go. Never figured that one out. Perhaps Bush supporters have listened to too many George Jones records over the years. Re: "Gore nearly always lies." That is not true and I'm tired of every right-winger on this board trumpeting that statement as if it's fact. Not true. Not true. Not true.
