BUSH LIED THREE MORE TIMES ON THURSDAY NIGHT On your left is Docket #76/7-02342 an official record of George W.

Bush's legal activities that followed from his DWI arrest in 9/4/76.

(Posted at CNN.) Below are excerpts from his 11/2/00 press conference in which he admitted that reports eralier in the evening were correct.

As you can see, Bush lied three times, if the docket record is to be believed. He implied that he paid the fine at the police station. The docket record says he paid the fine over a month later, on 10/15/76. He said that there were no legal proceedings of an kind, but the docket says he was scheduled for hearings on 9/16/76 and 10/15/76 and was given two continuances along the way, one to 9/30/76, the other to 10/25/76. The 10/15/76 hearing coincides with the date the fine was paid . He said there was no court hearing. The docket record indicates two hearing dates. He said neither he nor his family took any action after that night. Action of some sort had to be taken with respect to the continuances, the hearings, the paying of the fine, and the return of the $500 bond which one supposes must have been provided so Bush would not have to spend time in jail. Even if Poppy simply cut Junior off, which is unlikely, Bush or a legal representative must have been required to attend the hearing , pay the fine, and have the bond returned. Bush could probably provide some sort of explanation for all of these contradictions, but the fact is he didn't do so during his press conference. Reporters and viewers left the conference thinking that Bush was arrested and taken to the police station where he paid his fine and that was the end of the story, because that's what Bush said or implied. Bush lied.--Politex, 11/4/00 Bush: There's a report out tonight that 24 years ago I was apprehended in Kennebunkport, Maine, for a DUI. That's an accurate story. ...I was pulled over. I admitted to the policeman that I had been drinking. I paid a fine....

[inaudible question from a reporter] Bush: No, none at all. None whatsoever. As a matter of fact, I, you know, I tried -- I mean, I -- listen, I told the guy I had been drinking and what do I need to do? And he said, "Here's the fine." I paid the fine and did my duty....

Reporter: Governor, was there any legal proceeding of any kind? Or did you just -- Bush: No. I pled -- you know, I said I was wrong and I ...

Reporter: In court?

Bush: No, there was no court. I went to the police station. I said, "I'm wrong."

Reporter: So you just had a [inaudible]?

Bush: Yes.

Reporter: For the same night.

Bush: Yes, I did....

Reporter: Is there any action that you or your family took after that night?

Bush: No, there's not. I mean, none.
