1. I thought you were referring to Bush's college practices
where his enthusiastic embrace of human torture started:

Trudeau said he penned his very first cartoon to illustrate an article in the Yale Daily News on Bush and allegations that his fraternity, DKE, had hazed incoming pledges by branding them with an iron.

The article in the campus paper prompted The New York Times to interview Bush, who was a senior that year. Trudeau recalled that Bush told the Times “it was just a coat hanger, and ... it didn’t hurt any more than a cigarette burn.”

“It does put one in mind of what his views on torture might be today,” Trudeau said.

2. I never heard of this before. Thanks for the story! Incredible.
As I've said for 3 years. I guess Bush also did perverted sexual acts in his fraternity.
