The point is these kids are breaking the law.It's one thing to have too much to drink and get driven home when you are of a legal age to consume alcohol. It's another problem when you are underage and it's a criminal offense to be consuming alcohol. The Republicans made a huge issue out of Clinton demeaning the Presidency for breaking the law. I guess Bush's family doesn't have to be held to the same standard. Frankly, I don't care about any of it but your party affiliation is the party that made the big issue out of respect and dignity for the office of President. According to Republican standards, Bush's kids have no respect for the office their father holds. Yale Classmates Say Barbara Bush Had Phony ID Card Confiscated At Toad's Place NEW HAVEN, January 20, 2001 — "Barbara Bush...hasn't let her celebrity status or Secret Service agents stop her from enjoying an active social life during her freshman year at Yale, according to her classmates. Although Bush, 19, has generally tried not to call attention to herself, she started tongues wagging on campus when, classmates say, she had a phony ID card confiscated at Toad's Place and was ordered to leave. 'She was angry when that happened,' said Aileen Farrell, a freshman friend of Bush's who was with her at Toad's that night several months ago. 'But she didn't make a big deal about it.' Toad's owner Brian Phelps said he didn't know anything about the incident....But Bush has caught flak from the Yale undergraduate humor magazine Rumpus, which identifies her as 'Frosh X.' The Rumpus writer sarcastically sympathized with 'Frosh X' for having her fake ID confiscated at Toad's Place and made some unflattering comments about her father.
