* I found a post from Michael Moore detailing GW's 3 arrests. Here it is. But did Bush really have 4 arrests? Also found that the book "Fortunate Son" written about Bush was yanked from publication under pressure from the Bushes. It included evidence of a 1972 cocaine arrest, the same year he was AWOl from the military I think. The writer later "commited suicide". Any conspiracy theorists want to touch that?
