Bonus Question:
21: After George W. Bush admitted he lied about his arrest record and 'fessed up to a conviction on drunken driving, what was his response to questions about other arrests?
answer
A1. W. was born in New Haven Connecticut, July 6, 1946, a fact not mentioned on his Official White House bio.
A2. The U. S. government investigated both Bert Walker and Prescott Bush, and under the Trading with the Enemy Act seized all shares of Union Banking, including shares held by Prescott Bush. The government held that "huge sections of Prescott Bush's empire had been operated on behalf of Nazi Germany and had greatly assisted the German war effort."
A3. Senator from Connecticut 1952-1963.
A4. Walker, the last name of his great grandfather, who was very involved with aiding the Nazis in WWII.
A5. On bended knee proposing to Laura he promised that she would never, ever have to give a political speech.
A6. While most accounts of the accident are non-committal, a review of her biography says he was a good friend and one site says High School Sweetheart and another asserts fiance and the satirical but generally factually accurate whitehouse.org site's bio of her claims Michael was Laura's then-serious boyfriend. She calls this poignant episode a very tragic time in my life; indeed, her official White House biography doesn't mention any part of her life prior to her college graduation.
A7. Neil Bush. Details of collapse blame it on falling oil prices.
A8. Neil's incompetent, and possibly illegal "ethical disability" in running of Silverado cost taxpayers a billion dollars, and led to him getting fined by the SEC.
A9. He put them in his father's Presidential library, out of reach of public.
A10. Salem bin Laden, brother of Osama.
A11. Scott Hinckley, brother of John.
A12. On Sept. 11, he was in Florida, reading his favorite book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, to kids. When informed of the attack, he kept reading, and finished the book. He later lied about Air Force One being a target, and bolted to a military base and still hasn't come clean about that day
A13. Poppy Bush is Episcopalian.
A14. W. is Methodist
A15. Jeb is Catholic.
A16. Called Billy Graham.
A17. On his butt. "The resulting wounds only resembled 'a cigarette burn' claimed W."
A18. W. Ran for Congress in 1978, backed by Enron and employees. Though Enron itself was formed from two oil companies in 1985, W. claimed at the time, "There's no such thing as being too closely aligned with the oil industry in West Texas."
A19. Massachusetts
A20. W.'s Uncle Prescott Bush.
A21. This is a trick question. No reporter has asked W. about OTHER arrests or probed at all about his interesting new Texas drivers license number.
