Eric Wagoner 2000-11-06T04:43:34 false You've heard about the George

You've heard about the George Dubya Bush DUI by now. You may have heard about when he, while Governor of Texas, was called for jury duty to hear a DUI case. (A question on the form that asked if he can ever been accused of a crime was left blank. An oversight by a staffer, we were told.) He was excused by the attorneys due to a possible conflict of interest (the defentant would have had to ask for a pardon from someone who convicted her). The TV Press in Texas was all over the story back then, due to the novelty of a Governor getting called for jury duty. GW expressed joy "at having done his duty." Before he was dismissed, a reporter asked him if he was tempted to just pardon the defendant and go home. He replied, "No, I probably want to hang him and go home." DUI -- a hangin' offense. Why isn't this footage getting shown outside of Austin, Texas?
