Political Insults Quotes



Bush had been allowed to join the Texas Air National Guard which meant that he did not have to serve in combat in Vietnam the way most other men his age did. However, there were no records of his having reported for duty during several months when he was to be in service. Bush claimed that he was on duty and there was no action taken against him by the then authorities which detractors attribute to his father’s high position and supporters refer to as evidence of the fact that he did nothing wrong. He had been arrested for drunk driving, and the WMD dispute has ever since raged of whether he had been honestly misled by bad intelligence. Bush was not a functional illiterate but had been a college graduate and had completed graduate school studies. He was a poor public speaker and was not an intellectually curious man and did not read much, but this was a huge exaggeration.
