Barbara Bush Blunders

[Xiahou]

Now back to the topic at hand...

In my state, at least, Texas, if you run a stop sign or are speeding or in any way are violating traffic laws and it results in a death, then the charge is manslaughter. Not murder. Murder is intentional. A death which results from neglect in not following the law is manslaughter.

Also, in my state, the chances are pretty much zero of a black man not even being given a ticket for running a stop sign and striking another car broadside at a two way stop, meaning the other car had the right of way as well as the traffic sign being there.

However, in Texas, on November 6th, 1963 on a clear night with no rain at about 8 pm, a chevy sedan ran a stop sign at the intersection of two roads with 55 mph speed limits, struck another car broadside and ejected the other driver breaking his neck and killing him. In the car which ran the stop sign were two 17 year old girls. The driver who ran the stop sign, breaking the law, and killing the other driver was also the daughter of one of the richest and most powerful men in the town. She received no ticket. The records are public, with the police report being released to the media in May of 2000. The space for how fast she was going is blank. The space for the charges is blank. But the fact that she ran the stop sign, the road conditions, the time, and the fact that the accident resulted in the death of the other driver is clear as day. She wasn't even given a ticket for running the stop sign, whereas a black man in 1963 could have expected manslaughter charges at least. Her name? Laura Welch. Her maiden name, that is. She is now Laura Bush. Just another example of typical Bush family obliviousness.

Objection your honor! Relevance?

Honestly, what on earth does this have to do with the topic? And what a circumlocutious, tortured way of getting around to what amounts to "Yeah well, Laura Bush is a killer and got away with it!" I thought this thread was restricted to bashing an 80yr old woman? Apparently it's fair game for any Bush bashing though. Why not trot out Bush's DUI charges too? Oh, and don't forget "Bush lied, people died"!
