George W. Bush: Families
built 656 days ago
Presidency 101 Global Test: Scott charges that Bush 41 and his first offspring were never qualified to be Commanders-in-Chief. To make the case against Bush 43, Scott uses USAF documents, newspaper archives, Bush family autobiographies and authorized bios to show that George W. received a commission during the Vietnam War without any officer training, grounded himself by failing to take his annual flight physical, went AWOL in Alabama to work for the GOP, boozed until age 40 instead of preparing for national leadership, lied about his missing Guard service to get elected and tried to ruin the reputation of primary opponent Senator John McCain...Throughout Phony Fighter Pilot, Scott scores points against the Bush administration and entertains readers as well with analogous, true-life vignettes from his adventurous aviation career.
There are a number of accounts of substance abuse and otherwise disorderly conduct by Bush from this time. Bush has admitted to drinking "too much" in those years and described this period of his life as his "nomadic" period of "irresponsible youth".[26] On September 4, 1976, at the age of 30, Bush was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) near his family's summer home in Kennebunkport, Maine. He pled guilty, was fined US$150, and had his driver's license suspended in Maine until 1978.[27][28]
