Another example of the strong partying impulse among the Bush clan, John the youngest son of Jeb was arrested for public intoxication and resisting arrest in Austin, TX.
The story is in USA Today.

Democrats have changed America in simple basic ways in the past fifty years that have benefited everyone. Race has become less and less an issue in people's lives and racism has ceased to be socially acceptable anywhere. Women have moved into every realm of society and this is everywhere accepted without much comment. Equal opportunity in education, employment, housing. There is general agreement on the right to a dignified old age, guaranteed by the state. Democrats led the way in bringing these things about. It's one thing to get into power and do favors for your friends; it's quite another to touch the conscience of a nation. The last Republican to do that was Teddy Roosevelt.
That's a quote from p. 26 of Homegrown Democrat: A Few Plain Thoughts From the Heart of America by Garrison Keillor. I read it during our get-away trip to the UP. Get yourself a copy or ask to borrow mine.
