Reply #20: True, Cheney got those DUI's

[DoYouEverWonder]

at a time when drinking and driving was fairly common. However, in order to get charged with a DUI, no less two, you had to be just about falling down drunk back in those days.

Since then, there is no indication of whether or not Cheney ever even tried to stop drinking. Now in light of his behavior on the day he shot his hunting companion, I get the feeling Cheney never did stop. He just hid it well. Under the circumstances, I think the public now has a right to know what is Cheney's current status in regards to alcohol.

In regards to Bush, I doubt if he ever stopped drinking. Or if he has stopped drinking, he has replace the alcohol with a cocktail of mood altering drugs. I happen to think him and Laura do both. Why do I believe this? On Sat. Dec 29, 2000 I was in Fort Myers, FL with my family eating breakfast at the local IHOP waiting for our car to finish being repaired. There was a bunch of newspapers people left behind and I grabbed one. On the front page they ran a story about the new President-elect's vacation on Gasparilla Island with the rest of the Bush clan. The reporter asked the spokesperson for the family what Bush had done that day? They said that he had gone fishing that morning with his father, then he played a round of golf and that evening he went to the store to buy a bottle of gin for his evening martini. I swear to god that's what it said and I was so astonished I even read the paragraph out loud to my husband. One of those, oh my god the bastard still drinks, moments. I wish to heck that I had saved that newspaper, because I have never been able to find that reference online. I wasn't posting at the time, so I didn't realize that having a copy of this story would be useful later on. Oh well, if someone has access to Lexus Nexus that article is out there somewhere.
