GW Bush- The Spineless Party Animal From Hell


G.W. Bush-Hypocritical Spineless Party Animal From Hell

by Preston Peet (originally written for, but since disappeared from, disinfo.com, in November 2000.)

"I’ve told the American people all I’m going to tell them-is that I made mistakes- years ago. And I’ve learned from them," George Walker Bush, Republican candidate for President in 2000, and Governor of Texas told David Bloom of MSNBC in August, 1999. The question of whether GW Bush had used illegal drugs in his past was then raging in the media, with Bush steadily refusing to address the question. When he did finally give some sort of answer, it was a mere qualifier, one that went through at least three changes in two days. Now the question seems forgotten.

"The game of trying to force me to prove a negative and chase down ugly, unsubstantiated rumors has got to end, so I’m going to end it," Bush told reporters. CNN News quotes him saying he wouldn’t answer the questions about his possible youthful drug use, as it may send a signal that "whatever I may have done is ok." What? That is exactly the point. If Bush can be a presidential candidate without one day of mandatory treatment or imprisonment, or even a day in court to answer for his bad habits, why should he have signed into law such extremely harsh anti-drug laws in the Longhorn State, Texas? After repeating mantra-like, "When I was young and irresponsible, I was young and irresponsible," Bush finally deigned to answer a Dallas Morning News question (August, 2000), about whether he could pass the FBI background check for federal employees. Saying he understood the current form asks if illegal drugs were taken in the last 7 years, he could answer a firm "no" to that. Then he changed it to say he could pass it when his Daddy, Thin-Lips, No-New-Taxes, friend-of-the-Drug-Traffickers, George Bush the First, was President. Bush’s staff rushed to get it clarified for the media again the next day, asserting that not only could Bush pass it while his Daddy was President, he could pass it for the last 25 years, back to 1974. Which begs the question, what about the 28 years before that? What "youthful indiscretions" was Bush engaged in that he is too ashamed to admit today?

Bush passed severe mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession and sales in Texas, in addition to federal mandatory sentences already in place. Teen drug use, according to the 1998 Texas School Survey of Substance Use Among Student, Grades 7-12, Texas Commission on Drugs and Alcohol Abuse, while dropping around the country for the most part, has risen 30 percent in Texas under Bush, despite the insanely repressive drug policies.

While it isn’t possible to blame the father for the sins of his son, it is possible to point out that Bush the First was partly responsible for propping up the drug-dealing dictator of Panama, Manuel Noriega. Once Noriega began to chafe under his CIA-US yoke, Bush the First had him indicted in US court for drug trafficking, then told reporters that nothing Noriega might say could be believed, as he was an indicted drug criminal, and obviously not trustworthy. This is the kind of upbringing Bush was influenced by and subjected to.

It is apparent that GW Bush doesn’t hold traditional American values very highly, as in the case of Zack Exley and his GWBush.com site. Exley is one of the few to ask how in the Hell Bush can enforce laws that he himself apparently broke during his days of youthful indiscretion? Bush told reporters that "there ought to be limits to freedom," describing his attempts to shut down Exley’s site.

To think GW Bush is the President of the Land of the Free.

The Republican Cocaine Candidate

I don’t see any definite proof yet, but what a great page. Stop and take a look and a read, and make up your own mind. Was Bush a cokehead?

 

Son of Bush- Loser Like His Father?

"The GOP is setting a bad example for the youth of America by endorsing a coke freak for president," it says here, and I have to agree. What a bad example to be sending by putting a hypocrite alledged former druggie in office. Besides the fact that I tend to think GW Bush did use cocaine and probably other drugs too simply due to his pathetic non-denials. If he can’t be man enough to admit his mistakes how are we going to learn of them?

 

Bailout Bush- Bush Bails from the Air National Guard

This is a large collection of article looking into the question of: Just what in the heck was Bush doing in 1972, while ostensibly commissioned as a pilot in the US Air National Guard? Those two then-newfangled piss tests he made sure to miss would have told us more conclusively about Bush’s illicit drug use, but dang it all, he missed them!

 

The $37 Million Dollar Man Trips Up

This article from the Washington Post, (August 22, 1999), posted at cannabis culture, points out that while Bush has made it fairly clear that he could say he was drug free since about the age of 28, he still hasn’t answered if he’s not used since 18, a question found on the White House staff appointment application.

 

George Bush on Drugs

Read where Bush stands on drugs, and on all the other issues, or at least the many issues they cover here.

 

Peepshow-George W. Bush

"When I was young and irresponsible, I was young and irresponsible," said the Republican Governor of Texas and the son of the former President told Newsweek in 1998," this page starts out. What a clear and concise statement from Bush.

 

George W. Bush- The Rush Limbaugh Award for Excellence in Conservative Hypocrisy

"We think it is very important to know if our next President is a crack smoking, goat molesting, hard drinking frat boy who left behind a string of broken hearts and abandoned children," begins this look at the scenes behind the now boring, polished Bush. I really don’t care if he was a wild goat fucker or crack smoking hedonist, but I do care if he was and is too small to simply admit it. How in the hell can these candidates, both Bush and Gore, speak of how they will allow the War on Some Drugs to continue and promote said continuance, when they themselves should plainly see that jail wouldn’t have ever helped them to attain the heights of social power they now frequent.

 

The Drug Question

Read all about how Bush tried to get the national press to stop asking him irritating and potentially embarrassing questions about his youthful indiscretions and drug use. And what do you know, he succeeded too.

 

G.W. Bush- Not a Crackhead!

"There ought to be limits to freedom," said Presidential hopeful and party animal from hell Bush, when asked about these pesky websites making fun of him, and asking those aggravating drug use questions of poor little rich Bush. Be sure to watch Rangers part-owner G.W. Bush, in the priceless footage of him at a game, picking in his nose for a new running mate.

 

Bush- No Illegal Drugs For 25 Years

Next time you see one of these Bush supporters on your television screen telling the world that there is no proof that Bush used drugs ever, think of this article from Online Athens, (August 20, 1999), and ask yourself: why did he answer the questions like this? He is a shady, lying, no-good son-of-a-Bush, that’s why, speaking in SEMANTICS, just as most US politicians are so very good at.

 

Bush Supporters Launch Assault on Media

This article, (August 23, 1999), outlines the efforts of Bush supporters to denigrate the rumors of Shrub’s youth indiscretions, i.e. Drug Use.

 

Bush Rips Question About Drug Use, but Refuses to Answer

This article by Associated Press report Michael Holmes, (August 19, 2000) gives a glimpse of Bush using the old "get angry when caught in the headlights of a question you don’t want to answer" trick. But he didn’t answer the damn question, the little weasel. No offense weasels.

 

Bush Faces New Round of Drugs Questions

This CNN story is the one quoting Bush saying he doesn’t want to tell anyone about what he did in his youthful indiscretion days, as that might send the wrong message to kids. What a hypocrite. No Bush, the wrong message is locking up others, mainly poor minorities, (although no one is truly exempt other than you and your rich friends), for the same behavior you engaged in as a "young" rich kid.

 

Bush Says Parents Should Warn Children Against Drugs

This article by John Affleck at Associated Press, (August 21, 1999), quotes Bush saying he thinks parents "should share the wisdom of past mistakes" with their children, but won’t say what he told his own daughters, insisting that "he would leave his daughters out of the race," accept of course when they suit his race for President, like later that day when he brought them up during a campaign stop as joke material. Wonder how Bush’s daughters feel about Daddy using them as campaign joke material, but not being willing to discuss his style of raising them in any sort of meaningful manner?

 

Public Tepid on Bush-Drug Question

According to this ABCNews poll, (August 23, 1999), the US public could care less whether Bush answers the questions about his "possible" former drug/s use. So, the fact of whether or not Bush was locking up other people for the same behavior he engaged in is unimportant to know about a US Presidential candidate? It is extremely disturbing that THIS question remains unasked by MOST of the mainstream media, although there are a few reporters out there who were making this very pertinent point.

 

G.W. Bush- Ignorant and Proud

This very brief editorial from the Madison Capital Times, , (June 5, 2000), details a story told by one of my only favorite Republicans, New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson, about how he and Bush were attending a Governor’s conference, and upon realizing that the both of them had no clue what was being discussed at the conference, they celebrated by giving each other a "sort of high-five." Doesn’t relate much tot drugs really, except that Gov. Johnson has been the most outspoken politician in the US in office on the subject of our failed War on Some Drugs.

 

Why Does G.W. Bush Fly in Drug Smuggler Barry Seal’s Airplane?

This is an article by Mike Ruppert and Daniel Hopsicker, on the fact that although Reed may have been lying about the drug sting, or at least his having a video of the sting, G.W. is connected to an airplane that has a shady past, one used by Barry Seal, one of the most prolific known drug traffickers the US ever produced, and a life-long spook for US intelligence.

 

The Bush, Nazi, Coke Moonie Connection

This article/dossier for disinfo.com is by Nick Mamatas, outlining the many stange connections between Bush the First and many powerful meanies.

 

Fortunate Son- Better and Worse Than You Might Expect

This is a fairly decent review of Fortunate Son, available in the Disinfo.com headshop, by J.H. Hatfield. This is the book that brought the question of whether or not Bush had ever used illicit drugs into the limelight, by alleging that Bush’s parents had interceded in 1972 to "expunge" records of a cocaine conviction of their darling young and irresponsible then-26 year old son

.

G.W. Bush vs. Gwbush.com

This is an interesting look from Slate, (Oct. 4, 1999) at the battle by Bush to shut down the brilliant, hilarious, and GWBush.com parody site, the one that asks quite openly, "how can a man who won’t talk about his own youthful drug use lock up others for the behavior he himself doesn’t want to talk about?" What a hypocrite. It was this fight in which Bush made his now infamous statement that "there OUGHT TO BE LIMITS TO FREEDOM," merely over whether or not there could be a website making fun of him or not. This doesn’t bode well for the US citizenry under a Bush Presidency, but I will sure have lots and lots to write about.

 

The Success and Failures of George Bush’s War on Drugs

This is a look by Dan Check, (1995), at the tactics used to wage the evil War on Some Drugs by GW Bush’s Dad, George Bush, former head of the CIA, an organization which has assisted with many a drug trafficker’s enrichment, particularly under the Reagan and Bush administrations. Hmmm, and now Bush is surrounding himself with Bush the First's advisors and henchmen, like Richard "Dick" Cheney, and Richard Armitage. This doesn’t seem encouraging.

 

Bush Denies Using Any Illegal Drug During the Past 25 Years

This is another CNN story giving the chronology of Bush’s responses to the "what drugs did you do, and when," questions. Watching someone obviously playing semantics, using certain choices of words and phrases to fog the meaning of what they are really saying, is really uncomfortable for me, just like when watching someone lying to me when I know they are lying. Exactly like when Clinton said, "I didn’t inhale," and "what the meaning of ‘is" is." Bush was being really slick with his "I was youthful" schtick.

 

GOP Front Leader Dreams of Kiddie Smut

This is an article at the ever controversial High Times, by John Viet, (Jan 3, 2000). A very humorous, yet unsettling view of the candidate is given, dealing with how Bush filed a complaint with the Feds over the parody site, Gwbush.com. Great details on how Bush has been extremely harsh on both "big dealers," and "big users," and how thanks to his campaign alleging that the site links to "pornography," thousands upon thousands of porn addicts have been flocking to the site, only to learn how screwed up, how un-American, the War on Some Drugs really truly is. Great work Bush camp! Thanks!

 

Records of Bush Guard Service Sought

According to the Bush Campaign staff itself, it appears that, as reported in this Associated Press article, (June 24, 2000), young Bush never actually reported for his Texas Air National Guard service assignment in Alabama in 1972. While they are saying that the records were either lost or stolen, they aren’t quite sure, they insist that he was there. But others do not agree, even speculating that Bush was avoiding the then-newfangled urine testing system implemented by the Armed Services and National Guard right about that time, to weed out those drugs users they couldn’t tell were using drugs without taking urine from.

 

The G.W. Bush - Osama Bin Laden Connection

This is quite a detailed site alleging that Osama Bin Laden managed to funnel money to Bush. Check out the graph showing the connections between Bin Laden, Bush, and every hand between. Use your judgment, but definitely give a visit here.

 

Bush Family Values

Here is the now-classic article from Mother Jones by Steven Pizzo, (Aug/Sept. 1992), in which the shady businesses, and "dubious financial dealings" of three Bush kids, including GW, are revealed in all their sticky, greedy, underhanded glory. Nothing about drugs and GW, but still great insight on how the Bush family operates.

 

G. W. Bush’s Record

This is obviously a site that does NOT like Bush. Check out all the info they’ve got listed here. Spend some time, read all about what Shrub stands for, according to the folks here at Joinhugs.org.
