Counselor, you are splitting hairs here. I realize that you may be in the habit of doing so in the matter of DWI, but the bottom line is that Bush's behavior simply adds to the case that he is more a Goofus than a Gallant. BTW, I know it is customary to wait a short amount of time after arrest before administering a BA test in order to reduce the possibility of regurgitated alcohol skewing the results. It does not matter whether or not Bush would have passed a test at the time he first turned the ignition key. Three drinks sounds pretty bold to me, isn't the limit in Virginia now .08?

Re DUI I prosecuted DUIs for a while back in the 1980's. To me the biggest factor was whether the person was a regular drinker or not. At the time we had just started videotaping the suspects. A heavy drinker would blow a .20 and appear stone-cold sober on the video. An infrequent drinker, on the other hand, would blow a .14 and urinate on themselves. We stopped doing the videotapes because they tended to favor the serious alcoholic. Once we had a guy who blew a .42, he should have been dead but I guess after a few years of drinking you build up an immunity. Another time we had a guy who was stopped, jailed, released, picked up a 12 pack just outside the jail, and was stopped and arrested again before he got home.
