What went wrong?.........George W. Bush on Alcoholism Never disclosed DUI arrest out of concern for his daughters Bush aides said he had not disclosed the [drunk driving] incident previously out of concern for his twin daughters. “He has always been very forthcoming in acknowledging that he drank too much in the past, before he quit drinking 14 years ago,” his communications director said. “He had made a decision as a father that he did not want to set that bad example for his daughters or for any other children,” she said She was asked if she would have considered it acceptable for President Clinton to have denied involvement with Monica Lewinsky out concern for his daughter Chelsea. “The only time the governor was directly asked if he’d ever been arrested for drinking and driving and he replied, and I quote, ‘I do not have a perfect record,’ ” she replied. She added, “He has been very forthcoming with the American people that he made mistakes as a youth.” When asked if 30, Bush’s age at the time, qualifies as youthful, she said, “It was before he was married. It was before he had children.”

Nazi, pig, pork, anti-Semite, fifth columnist and traitor have unsurprisingly made their way onto the Israeli parliament's list of words and phrases banned from parliamentary discourse, under new proposals from the Knesset's Ethics Committee. But in collecting an exhaustive list of offensive terms from debates over the last five years, committee chairwoman Colette Avitai of the Labor party has also decided to place Trojan horse, vampire and poisoner of wells among the 68 prohibited insults. Israeli parliamentarians are also henceforth to avoid thug, moron, fraud and hoodlum. All very well, but what's left to describe politicians, Israeli or otherwise? vny.com
