Tale of Bush's drunken behaviour told
By Gary Younge

New York, Sept.3 (Guardian News Service): THE US president, George
Bush, was transferred to the Alabama National Guard during the Vietnam
war because his drunken behaviour was a political liability to his
father in Texas, the wife of one of his father's former confidants
revealed yesterday.

Linda Allison told the political website Salon.com that throughout the
time Mr Bush was in Alabama she never saw him in uniform and had no
idea he was supposed to be in the National Guard.

``Georgie was raising a lot of hell in Houston, getting in trouble
andembarrassing the family and they just really wanted to get him out
ofHouston.'' Asked if she had ever seen him in uniform Mrs Allison
said:``Good Lord, no. I had no idea the National Guard was involved in
his life.''

Sept. 2, 2004 | NEW YORK -- Before there was Karl Rove, Lee A****er
or even James Baker, the Bush family's political guru was a gregarious
newspaper owner and campaign consultant from Midland, Texas, named
Jimmy Allison. In the spring of 1972, George H.W. Bush phoned his
friend and asked a favor: Could Allison find a place on the Senate
campaign he was managing in Alabama for his troublesome eldest son,
the 25-year-old George W. Bush?

"The impression I had was that Georgie was raising a lot of hell in
Houston, getting in trouble and embarrassing the family, and they just
really wanted to get him out of Houston and under Jimmy's wing,"
Allison's widow, Linda, told me. "And Jimmy said, 'Sure.' He was so
loyal."

Linda Allison's story, never before published, contradicts the Bush
campaign's assertion that George W. Bush transferred from the Texas
Air National Guard to the Alabama National Guard in 1972 because he
received an irresistible offer to gain high-level experience on the
campaign of Bush family friend Winton "Red" Blount. In fact, according
to what Allison says her late husband told her, the younger Bush had
become a political liability for his father, who was then the United
States ambassador to the United Nations, and the family wanted him out
of Texas. "I think they wanted someone they trusted to keep an eye on
him," Linda Allison said.
