In my book, Mr. Bush has committed murder too. And I'm not seeing any rush to convene the war crimes tribunal, so it looks like he's getting away with it. Look, I wasn't trying to defend the drunken insanity of Ted Kennedy. I was merely making a point that Dubya's had many cocaine-and-booze-fueled insanities that rarely get mentioned. And that what happened to Lynn Spears sounds a lot like what happened to Laura Bush. Yeah, Lauri? In my book, Mr. Bush has committed murder too.

Now, if he had gotten to a phone as fast as possible and called for emergency help, it would be different. But he allowed her to die, while waiting around and deciding the best way to handle it to try to protect his reputation. Mind you, that wait was 9 HOURS. If you look at photos of the scene, you can plainly see that there were houses close by where he could have called for help. The residents of three of those houses asserted that they had lights on that would have been easily visible to him. In addition, there was a volunteer fire station...that was manned, only 300 yards from the scene of the accident. So, he walked past 4 houses, 3 of them with lights on, and a fire station, without stopping to call for assistance. The difference is that Mrs. Bush had an accident. Mr. Kennedy committed murder and got away with it. @kaiser: The reason most people still bring up Chappaquidik is because instead of trying to save Mary Jo, he saved his own butt and then consulted with his family over what to do…before bothering to call authorities.

Police records of the event were made public in May 2000.

Esp. if Lynn wasn't drunk or anything. It's just a tragedy that shouldn't be exploited. Also, Scott - I wrote my first bitchy comment on this thread right after I read the coverage of Robert Novak. That also affected it. Sorry if I offended your delicate Republican sensibilities. :) Yeah, Geronimo, I actually agree. Esp. if Lynn wasn’t drunk or anything.

Sad story. No love in my heart for Lynne Spears but it's a really difficult, if not impossible, thing to get over and bringing it up again after all this time isn't likely to help heal any wounds for any of the people involved here. kaiser, too funny…

My first thought went to Laura Bush, who wasn't listed. I made a crack about Republicans, because I thought, what do Lynn Spears and Laura Bush have in common? And not to get your GOP goat, but technically the Chappaquiddick girl drowned. She wasn't run over. Not that it makes it any better. But for every time a Republican mutters "Chappaquiddick" whenever Ted Kennedy's name comes up, why not do the same for the Bushes? Here, I'll try it. George W. Bush *coughcokeheadcough* *coughalcoholicdrunkdrivercough* Laura Bush *coughkilledherhighschoolfriendcough* Scott F - Jaybird was listing people who caused deadly or horrendous car accidents.

He was injured pretty badly, too, if I remember correctly.

Didn't they stop to think how AWFUL the family of that little boy are feeling right now? OMG, this is beyond disgusting...my sympathies for the family first, then Lynne--though that's the ONLY one she gets. :roll: I can’t believe how low some tabloids will stoop!!
