Police said the bill's phoniness should have been obvious for other reasons. It had a silly serial number DUBYA4U2001 and didn't bear the signature of the Secretary of the Treasurer. Instead, it was "signed" by Ronald Reagan, whose title was "Political Mentor" and by Bush's father, who is listed as "Campaign Advisor and Mentor."
I can't say I look at all bills that I come across, but $200 demands some attention (even if I didn't know there was no such thing). It appears that like Hillary and the Travel Office scandal, the prosecutor decided she was "too stupid to convict".
