Speculation about the Bush family?
LOL...
Maybe if you sobered up you might understand the nature of an alcoholic family structure...the shaming, the secrecy, etc.
The court should throw the book at Gore's son (no special privileges), and I have little doubt that like Bush Jr's drinking and drug habits, being the son of an type A personality in the public eye doesn't leave enough time to be a full time parent. It is a common story for politicians kids and related family being trouble with drugs and booze.
Why bring up the Bush family? Because it goes to the nature of powerful families having secrets along with drug and alcohol abuse, is quite common, very much in keeping with the pattern of alcoholic families.
Throw the Kennedy family in their too, they belong in the same club, as well as many republican families...
I do see one pattern as well, those who currently abuse drugs and alcohol are the very first to come to the defense of those in the public eye who are busted for their abuses...
MADD should be pissed off about someone going 100MPH on the San Diego Freeway (I 5 South) at that hour of the morning, with drugs in their possession...
The kid needs help, tough shaming isn't the long term answer...
Oh, and it doesn't matter if the kids are the offspring of current candidates for 2008 or beyond, they all need help and role models that are not alcoholic and or drug abusers, which many politicians are...not to mention bond traders...
Cases like this just illustrate, along with the Bush and Kennedy family, the Ford family, Ronny Reagan's dad was an alcoholic... how alcoholism/drug addiction are family diseases, and for some bizarre reason...tolerated here in America...probably because so many in our electorate also abuse drugs and alcohol...
Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:
What does this pointless speculation about Bush have to do with the FACT that Al Gore was busted last night driving 100mph with an assortment of illegal drugs in his possession?
Strawman won't work. Jeb or George Bush aren't 2008 Presidential candidates. Al Gore presumably will be. This kid has been problematic since his teen years. Where are his parents?
