Washington Post reporter Aaron Blake told CNN on Tuesday that candidate George W. Bush "just didn't pay a high enough price" in the 2000 election for his DUI arrest that occurred more than 20 years prior.
Blake was talking about famous "October surprises," or unforseen events occurring in the month before the election that could be game-changing. The Bush DUI revelation was a hit job planted by a Democratic source that mushroomed into a big story because of the liberal media.

Anyway. I got my first vehicle which was a 55 Ford. I thank God to this day that I never was involved in an accident while drinking. I will say only one thing as I sadly read of tragedy along these lines. Absolutely squeaky clean these last twenty years.
There, but for the grace of God go I.
BDS is a serious mental disorder. Might be lifetime plauge for some of the weaker minded. It’s their guts they are rotting.
