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.

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
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.

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.

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.

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.

Nothing about drugs and GW, but still great insight on how the
