Why don't they ask Barbara and George Sr. about AWOL?

[skjpm]

Wouldn't he have phoned them from AL? Do they remember him? Did he get them a Christmas present from AL?

1. Ask Barbara

whether she visited Dubya in a drug clinic in N. Carolina during the summer of '72. Somebody posted about this at DU a few days ago.

The post was about a doctor who claims to have treated Dubya at this clinic for rich kids on dope. Barbara came to the clinic and chewed Dubya out.

4. Ernest Borgnine in Pearl and Poppy Bush

There isn't any doubt that Junior was in Alabama during the disputed time. He was working on a campaign for a racist named Red Blount. The doubt comes into play that he ever showed up at Danally to do required NA assignments. It doesn't look as if he did, although his teeth evidently made a trip to the base dentist...

6. LOL!

Welcome to DU, kalluke! :hi:

8. that story was a satire

It wasn't real. It was on the Atrios web site, and it was part of a column of funny fake stories people could attest to about their experience with George.

2. Maybe you haven't noticed, but

George H W Bush is hardly a trustworthy, honorable man (Carlyle Group, for example).

And Barbara Bush is an elitist bitch ("why should I worry my beautiful mind over it ).

Both of them are terrible parents (as evidenced by the behavior of ALL of their children).

Let's see... I don't think a member of the Bush family would lie just to keep their status and wealth...

Oh, wait... They do it all the time.



EDIT: sidenote to skjpm - I'm not trying to be an ass to you or anything, I'm just very cynical about this idea...
Maybe that was your point...

3. Oh, to hear the Bushies tell a few more lies.

It's always great to get them on. But they are parents, and they would be expected to back him up.

[leesa]

5. He lived in Alabama then working for Blount. Why bother though,

where do you think Bush learned to lie so well if not from Babs and his sleazy father?

9. Poppy was CIA. Therefore, events either did or didn't happen, as needed..

Poppy has the capacity and the connections to do many "miraculous" things.

Need records? Poof! Need 'em gone? Poof!

10. George Sr can't remeber where he was when JFK was shot

how could he remember where the black sheep oif the family ended up?

[kskiska]

11. He can't remember where he was during Iran-Contra, either

Out of the loop, he said. Funny, but Weinberger and others remembered where he was in their journals, but then Poppy pardoned them all just as they were about to be investigated.
