invading and occupying Afghanistan and Iraq. |
On May 27, 1968 George W. Bush's student draft deferment was due to
expire in 12 days. He applied to join an Air National Guard unit
stationed in Texas and was sworn in that same day. He had a score of
25% on his pilot aptitude test. Bush's father was at that time a
congressman representing the district that includes Houston, Texas.
By the early 1970s Bush appears to have gotten bored with the Air National
Guard and simply stopped reporting for duty. Early in 1973, Bush's
superior officers reported that "Lt. Bush has not been observed at this
unit during the period of this report." The period of their report was
the 12 months from April 30, 1972 to May 1, 1973. For most of this time
Bush's residence was in Texas. His Guard Unit, however, was in Alabama
(he had transferred to a unit in Alabama while working for a Republican
congressional candidate in that state, but moved back to Texas after
the election).
In the general election of November 2000, George W. Bush received
543,895 fewer votes than Al Gore. Bush was nevertheless appointed
president of the United States by a 5-4 vote of the Supreme Court.
On September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists hijacked 4 airplanes and carried out a
deadly attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Passengers on
American Airlines flight 93 struggled with the hijackers and forced the
plane to crash in a field in Pennsylvania. Unlike those passengers, and
unlike his fellow Republican, New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, George W.
Bush went into hiding as soon as his handlers realized what was
happening.
After coming out of hiding, Bush declared "War on Terrorism," and has, in the name of that war, invaded and occupied two countries (Afghanistan and Iraq), sat by while Israel has unleashed unprecedented violence against the Palestinians, ordered American citizens arrested without any legal basis, and generally been pretty shameless about manipulating public outrage for his own personal and political gain.
Fun Facts:
- George W. Bush was arrested for drunk driving on July 6, 1976, in
Kennebunkport, Maine.
- Bush keeps a picture of himself with two members of ZZ Top, but
apparently does not play the "Tube Snake Boogie" during his celibacy
lectures.
- Bush's campaign hired private investigators to investigate Bush's
"wild" college days (apparently Bush couldn't remember what he did). The
investigators concluded that Bush "isn't terribly thrilled" about what
they found, and that while there were "no handcuffs or dwarf orgies, he
was a handsome, rich playboy and lived that life."
- Bush's advice to parents: "If I were you, I wouldn't tell your kids
that you smoked pot unless you want 'em to smoke pot. I think it's
important for leaders, and parents, not to send mixed signals. I don't
want some kid saying, 'Well, Governor Bush tried it.'"
