Every bit of that is correct, in addition "read my lips" and a bunch of other things. It bothered me at the time, but, like many others, I had an inkling about what Bubba was really like behind the facade and I voted Republican again, even though Rush and many of his listeners were lukewarm, at best, about Bush-41.
They wanted to "send a message" to Republican politicians and they wanted to show how bad a Democrat administration would be by contrast. Well, they did it and they have to share share the responsibility for the results. Disgruntled Conservatives, Liberals, and Solialists put Bill Clinton in our White House.
Ah yes, there was the sleeping pill incident and the up-chuck on the Jap.
I think B-41 was stressed out and perhaps had a bout of post war depression towards the end of his term.
I believe that B-43 is well aware of his fathers failings and is determined not to fall into the same trap.
Sending men to their deaths is a awsome responsibility. B-43 seems to be handling it aggressively and has been totally on top of it. IMHO.(I am also a depression survivor)
