42. How many mainstream, influential Dems questioned Bush's "pretzel" incident
Mon Dec 31, 2012, 04:13 PM
Dec 2012

or his many falls resulting in cuts and bruises all over his face?





Even though Bush is an alcoholic I don't recall any influential Dems saying what was obvious. And it's a hell of a lot more likely that Bush was drinking than Hillary is faking an illness (which would only delay testimony, not prevent it).

No one questioned his weird "coke jaw"-esque facial tic either.
