"Where are we going with this anyway?" Good question as far as where things are going, there seem to be plenty of distractions along the road. Here is my basic point, I don't care if he was an alcoholic with an arrest record. I also don't care if he was into the drug scene when he was in Houston during the '70s, something with his lifestyle he would have had trouble avoiding. Now one might take issue with his draconian approach to those in similar circumstances now, but that is not my biggest concern. No, my concern is that when questioned about it in 1998, he lied. Even though it was a matter of public record. Now you can take hmaly's approach and say that Smirk didn't think DWI/DUI was wrong so he didn't remember it as an arrest. But taken with a number of other issues that came up in the debates, you begin to wonder if Smirk ever tells the truth. And I don't like liars. Can't trust them.
