Jeb's son arrested for public intoxication, resisting arrest

Is the entire FAMILY a bunch of drunks and drug addicts?  (Or, as neocons would say, Yea!  Let's make him president!)


Jeb Bush's son arrested for public intoxication, resisting arrest

The Associated Press

September 16. 2005 5:32PM

John Ellis Bush, the youngest son of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, was arrested early Friday and charged with public intoxication and resisting arrest, law enforcement officials in Texas said.

The 21-year-old nephew of President Bush was arrested by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission at 2:30 a.m. Friday on a corner of Austin's Sixth Street bar district, said spokesman Roger Wade.

John Ellis Bush was released on $2,500 bond for resisting arrest, and on a personal recognizance bond for the public intoxication charge, officials said.

Alia Faraj, the spokeswoman for Jeb Bush said the incident is a personal family matter which the governor and his wife are dealing with privately.

It's not the first time Florida's first family has experienced legal problems with one of their children.

Noelle Bush, the governor's daughter, was arrested in January 2002 and was accused of trying to pass a fraudulent prescription at a Tallahassee pharmacy to obtain the anti-anxiety drug Xanax. She completed a drug rehabilitation program in August 2003 and a judge dismissed the drug charges against her.

Noelle Bush was sent to jail twice for violating rules during her rehab stint. She was jailed for three days in July 2002 after being caught with prescription pills and served 10 days a month later after being accused of having a small rock of crack cocaine in her shoe


My "comfort zone" has nothing to do with it....
if they had anything, they wouldn't black out the meetings. They would want EVERYone to know. You think I am afraid of him being impeached, you must not have read all my posts. I would welcome it. Let them go forward with it, PLEASE. Let it ALL come out, all the dirty dealings, on BOTH sides of the aisle. Who knew what and when they knew it. I would LOVE it. LOVE it. All I said was, they do not intend to impeach him. This is merely political posturing before the election. They are not seriously considering impeaching him. Pelosi would block it from ever happening. Have you not heard her say so? If they had the goods she would not be saying that. If he was not convicted, that is viewed as exoneration and would hurt that side tremendously going into the election. You think they are going to chance that? Frankly, I wish they WOULD. IMPEACH him already. GO FOR IT.
If it's any comfort, 59% of the

A very sad state of affairs.


Poll: U.S. disapproves of war in Iraq

Thu Jun 8, 7:24 PM ET

The death of al-Qaida leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq came as more Americans than ever thought the war in Iraq was a mistake, according to AP-Ipsos polling.

The poll, taken Monday through Wednesday before news broke that U.S. forces had killed al-Zarqawi, found that 59 percent of adults say the United States made a mistake in going to war in Iraq — the highest level yet in AP-Ipsos polling.

Approval of President Bush's handling of Iraq dipped to 33 percent, a new low. His overall job approval was 35 percent, statistically within range of his low of 33 percent last month. The poll of 1,003 adults has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Among other findings:

_More than half, 54 percent, said it's unlikely that a stable, democratic government will be established in Iraq, a new high in AP-Ipsos polling. The survey was completed before Iraq's parliament approved three key new government ministers. Just 67 percent of Republicans, 63 percent of conservatives, and 57 percent of white evangelicals believed a stable, democratic government is likely.

_Only 68 percent of Republicans, 57 percent of white evangelicals and 51 percent of self-described conservatives — key groups in Bush's base of support — approved of his handling of Iraq. Those most likely to disapprove are Democrats (89 percent), women (70 percent), minorities (84 percent), city dwellers (72 percent), those with household incomes under $25,000 (71 percent), and unmarried men (70 percent).

_Those most likely to believe the war in Iraq was a mistake are Democrats (84 percent), women (63 percent), especially suburban women (67 percent), minorities (76 percent), city dwellers (66 percent), self-described liberals (82 percent), moderates (64 percent), and Catholics (62 percent).

It give me no comfort at all....sm
to see the two of you talk like this, nor do I wish to engage in any "told you" sort of mentality.


Things really do feel like they're changing, and if the dems succeed in stealing the last few runoff elections/recounts in the Senate and get the super majority there....look out.



I hope you feel better, Marmann...sounds like you may be under the weather.....





Cold comfort

But I believe we will be proven right before too long. And when that happens the failure will still be laid at the feet of Bush and the republicans.  The country was just too far gone.  Obama did his best against all odds, but victory was snatched away by those evil conservatives. 


I don't want our country to fail, but I do want Obama's ill-advised policies to fail because anything else will change this country into something I can no longer recognize.  Probably I will never earn 250K, but I like to think that if I ever do I might get to keep some of it without hundreds of sticky fingers trying to pry it from my grasp and give it to slackers who did not work for it.


You start living in the twilight zone....

And McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone.
but thanks for reminding us how desperate the right-wing fringers are. The sources that have debunked this myth are abundant. Try googling snopes or fact check for starters or simply obama citizenship.
Excuse me: Did you wander into the TWILIGHT ZONE? What's wrong with you?..
Nothing is 'creepy' about Obama. Don't forget that he is campaigning for an eternity and his so beloved grandmother, who 'made him', just passed away.
Right, took 2 years with George's veto pen, uh-huh.......twilight zone......nm

You would find more comfort on the conservative board.sm
Feel free to mozy on over their for some like minded folks.

I think it shows character on Obama's part and I pray for her comfort and healing if that is God&
and for comfort and peace for her family.
It is a step

We certainly cannot let these large employers fail.  Obama's team can think this through in the meantime and modify things in the future to benefit the nation. Doing nothing cannot be an option.


 


 


Our party definitely needs to step up. sm
It's come to the point that I don't even know what our party values anymore. Just a bunch of different groups trying to elevate their cause with no clear focus. What is our agenda? I'm listening, but our elected officials are not talking.

Is Senator Kennedy the last Dem standing? At least he and Murtha speak their minds and challenge this administration. And I'm dog tired of hearing what the republicans got wrong. Though I think they have a nice stack of issues, I want to hear what our party is going to do to fix the Iraqi situation, what would they do in Louisiana and Missisippi differently if they had the ball in their court and what are they willing to fight for to effect change? What will they do to make America safer from domestic and foreign terrorists? Offer up some solutions. Maybe they have, but I haven't heard anything.

Hillary, though I'm still a fan of hers, seems to ride whichever wave she's on. Howard Dean is a live wire who says the first thing that floats to his brain, off the wall. He does not have the carisma to lead the party to victory IMHO.

As far as the republicans, I'm tired of hearing about gay marriages and abortions. I do not think these are America's main issues, not even close. I want to hear something other than rhetoric about how good Iraqi is doing too.

And I was just having a conversation earlier this week with a friend of mine who agrees with me that we have seen MORE gays and lesbians emerge since Bush took office. And before you get it wrong conservatives, I'm not saying he is creating them. It may be that the gays are rebelling and being more blatant with it to spite the anti-gay politicians, and/or all of the attention brought to gay marriage and gay this and that have only lured more young people into this culture as a reverse effect. I think the latter is more likely because rewind back to 2000, it was less likely you would see woman/woman, man/man hand in hand in the supermarket. Now, it's just as normal as man/woman and I'm in the bible belt, Alabama.

I agree with the poster who asked the question *where was THIS Al Gore 8 years ago?* Maybe, they'll wise up and make him head of the DNC. Say, *Thanks Dr. Dean for your services but we won't be needing them anymore.*

Either way, this administration NEEDS more disenting voices with SOLUTIONS-this is key-not just rhetoric because on major issues they have been allowed to runamuck basically uncontested for the last five years.

If we keep it up at this rate though I agree it's bad news for America.
Should Hillary step down?
I've heard people say she should step down before things get worse within the party. That it would be the best for the Democrat party.

Thoughts, opinions, comments?

I bet you step on bugs

When is the GOP going to step up to the plate and
their own VP pick and the shambles it finds itself in now? When?
At least its a step in the right direction
But I won't believe it until it happens.

While I did not want McCain as president I do believe that he has a lot of knowledge about the way things work and issues of importance, and I believe he cares more about the americian public than the O does. The O is going to need all the help he can get because he has no experience whatsoever, so I think employing people that do have experience is his first wise decision while waiting for everything to work out.
Not at all happy with the first step
Closing Gitmo.

I am terrified of the thought of Obama closing Guantanamo. They are terrorists .. dangerous individuals. And should not be treated like they pickpocketed a wallet. Why not move them into the White House. That way there’s plenty of secret service to monitor them. And they will have all the conveniences that a terrorist should have .. a warm, clean bed, food .. a home theater .. a bowling alley .. and why not let them use the pool. How about giving them jobs (when we need jobs in the US), give them food stamps. I know free tuition.

Yes, I agree there are prisoners there that really do not belong there and do need a fair trial, but a majority of them are the worst of all. The ones who brought about 911. Even Saddam Hussein was there.

They are not US citizens and do not have the same rights as do we Americans. Obama is simply catering to his ACLU lawyer cronies without any regard for the damage it does to our national security, safety of our military, or the US Justice system.

The countries from where these terrorists are from don’t even want them. What does he plan on doing, sending them to our homeland to rest on our soil? That doesn’t make any sense!

Next step to socialism.......government
xx
I'll step forward.......
I have two choices here, more taxes or no more taxes. Now, in light of the current situation that will now tax us more, before all this, Obama has not been shy about taxing, taxing, taxing, to pay for all his little social programs, which for the most part are jokes. And for those that don't believe this is a racial issue, think again. He came out punching at first, spouting all his plans for more social programs, more this, more that, bigger government, and that means higher taxes for all...all except those that don't pay taxes in the first place and live off the government, which he is well aware of and aware that these same people usually don't vote but he is going after them with everything he's got, including ACORN, because he doesn't care how he gets their vote, just that he gets it.

McCain has directly said he will not add more taxes, he wants smaller government, less government interference in our lives. As it should be. The government's main role is to basically run a military to protect this country, not to tax its citizens.

Obama has said nothing about smaller government, less government interference in our lives but instead has said just the opposite. Now, I understand with so many voting for him that already need someone to tell them what to do, how to feel, how to think, etc., that won't be a far stretch to believe that the government is their friend and ally, but sadly enough he likes it that way.

I don't particularly care for either one of them. Ron Paul would have done it for me, but with what I am left with, I choose between less government or more government. More government = more taxes !!!!! You can't argue that point.

Where is he planning to get this money. Well, he has spouted the fact that bringing our troops home will free up that money to be put here......I'll believe it when I see it. If he ever gets his hands on that kind of money, he will have blown it on more social programs and babysitting programs for lazy parents, who suck the blood out of my paycheck in the first place, all for the sake of making their children smarter. Pleeeeeze.....the only thing that will make anyone's child smarter is having a parent that gives a d*mn in the first place, not more taxes thrown at the problem. You don't need more taxes to read to your child, put a book in the home (hey, the library is free), talk to your child instead of the ususal phrases of condemnation I hear around here, make sure they do their homework, basically just be involved. No one needs to pay more taxes to get that.

More social programs = socialization of a country. But, for those that believe he will save them from themselves, Obama is loving it. Because these are the same people that freak out at the thought of thinking for themselves, not being dependent on the government for their lives.
No rights? They have the right to step up to the plate.
They have the right to support their child. Unfortunately, mother nature did not give them the capacity to bear children. What they do not have the right to do is to force a woman to be their own personal incubator against her will. If they do not want to be stripped of their reproductive rights, perhaps they should take their own measures to prevent unwanted pregnancies (condoms, vasectomy) or practice abstinence and keep their pants zipped.
Yeah, and she went a step further earlier and said...(sm)

in her own words *Can you not see what is happening?  Hitler was elected into office during a democratic state.  I am not saying that O is Hitler, what I am saying is that someone with such extreme ideas has been elected to the highest power and there are many signs pointing to the fact that we are going to see some changes that even those that voted for him are not going to  like.*  That's in the *I am a democrat* post.


Just because you say you didn't call him Hitler right after you did, doesn't mean you didn't do it in the first place.


The first step is always the hardest. Next lession...(sm)
changing screen names....LOL
I'll take the repair step one further
Let's propose that any store that sells any electronics, or anything mechanically breakable, in fact, must have a repair guy on duty for people that need to have it repaired.  I'm sick of everything SUPPOSEDLY under warranty that requires you ship it at your own expense to Timbucktoo in its original packing on a Thursday if you want to even TRY to get it fixed - and of course it always disappears during shipping, never to be seen again.  Remember back in the day where you bought an appliance at a store and could take it back there to get it repaired?  We need to buy things locally and fix them locally again!  We want parts manufactured to fix things and we want repairment trained and ready for us - jobs and more jobs!
I would never tell you to walk lock-step
in MY footprints, that would be blasphemy.

No, we are telling you that Jesus wants you to walk in HIS footsteps. He knows that we will wander, He knows that we will sometimes lose sight of His footsteps, but if we trust Him He will guide us back.


Gingrich didn't have to step down

A Big Step for Homeless Veterans

As a Veteran, a former State Director of Veterans Affairs and now as Assistant Secretary at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs I understand the urgent need to address homelessness. Last week’s meeting of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness with Secretary Shinseki, and his counterparts at HUD, Labor and HHS, took an important step in coordinating our efforts to eliminate homelessness in our country. The VA estimates that one-third of homeless Americans served in the military, so this partnership is central to our efforts to help these brave soldiers.


One important outcome of the meeting was the announcement of an additional $75 million in housing vouchers. This new money will provide shelter for an additional 10,000 homeless Veterans and their families. These resources offer vital support to a community in need.


For state and local Veterans’ agencies, these funds come at a time when many local budgets are being squeezed by the current economic situation. While the VA works hard to offer support services and case management to eligible homeless veterans, local agencies play a crucial role in the care of these individuals.


Our nation's Veterans placed the good of the nation before their own and we are all dishonored when even a single Veteran sleeps on the street. I am proud of this administration’s commitment to fulfilling our nation’s promise to these brave soldiers. I look forward to working with my colleagues throughout government and the private sector to continue to fight this problem and make sure that no Veteran or American has to face the harsh reality of being homeless.


Tammy Duckworth is the Assistant Secretary of Public and Intergovernmental Affairs for the Department of Veterans Affairs.


If you would step out of paranoid palace for a moment..
point to me ONE place where I advocated killing all Muslims. All I said was, and the only question I asked was, why don't the peace-loving Muslims denounce the murders within their own ranks who are hijacking their peaceful religion to justify killing of innocents and hatred of anything nonMuslim? And you rant and you rant, but you never answer that. And again..it was the Muslim extremists who called what they were doing jihad...I did not call it that, I simply repeated what they said. For someone who is supposedly educated, you certainly run from questions when they are posed to you. And by the way...education does not give you the right to be rude, and rude you are lady...and if you are the poster child for an education...I believe you get the idea.
Its all over the internet that the plan has been for Biden to step down (sm)
and Hillary to take his place.
You can march in lock step with the Marxist...
socialist idea of "equal opportunity for all Americans" if you like. He was the member of a church for 20 years that preached black liberation theology. It is NOT about equal opporunity for ALL Americans. Programmed is right. Get with it? Not in this lifetime.
This is a day for us to simply step back and stand together
progressives, conservatives liberals and the like...just simply as Americans, waking up and greeting the dawn of a new day.
McCain also asked him to step down from office

So, you are upset about this republican being in office and think republicans are all christians and christians do not sin.  Well, I am upset about Emanuel and his background and is now chief of staff for the O.  That is more important to me right now.


Ma'am, step away from the mirror and no one will get hurt. LOL.

Public opinion made him step down...(sm)
