Dubya committed perjury - why has this story been ignored?
The weekend before the election, Salon.com ran a fascinating story - nearly indispitable proof that Dubya had lied under oath to a government official back in 1978 in order to get his driving privileges in Maine restored. The key part of the article is:
The secretary of state's hearing examiner, David Schulz, granted Bush his driving privileges after Bush told him, according to the Boston Globe, that he had had only the "occasional beer."
Dubya's DUI conviction got heavy coverage just a few days before. Clinton had recently been impeached for lying under oath in a civil case. Bush spokesman Dan Bartlett's comments would make great material for late night comics. The media had already exhausted just about every other story angle on Dubya and Gore. But...but...but if you go to Google.com and enter bush "occasional beer", you will see that Salon was the biggest media outlet to report on it.
I remember when I read the story, I thought that the suffering through two years of the mainstream media constantly attacking Gore would finally be made worthwhile . It was pay back time. Time for the media to prove that it wasn't biased against Gore. Time for the media to prove that it would go after a Republican's personal scandal as hard as they go after a Democrat's.
Boy, was I wrong.
