Do I stand by it anyway? Absolutely, because underneath the pomposity is a valid expression of frustration. These 'personal failings' scandals have become a staple of contemporary politics, and they distract us all from the important business of the country. After eight years of Bill Clinton, the Bush family should have learned this lesson. We've all been through this drill a thousand times in the last twenty years.
According to another poster on this thread, Jeb Bush knew his daughter had a problem. He should have been proactive in dealing with it, since he knows that his job as an elected official leaves him wide open to attack for failing to do so, thereby threatening his ability to do the job he was elected to do! It shouldn't have taken his daughter's arrest to get him to act.
How do we know he had not been dealing with it? Let's face it, she's an adult in the eyes's of the law, and short of locking her in a room, she gets to call the shots in her life. She did and now she will have to go into a court of law to have the matter heard.
