Mrs. Bush ran stop sign in fatal crash

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Details in a 1963 accident report say that Laura Bush, then 17, ran a stop sign in the Texas crash that killed a friend in another car. The report, adding information to previous reports of the crash, was released to The Associated Press on Wednesday.

<snip>

According to the two-page accident report, Laura Welch was driving her Chevrolet sedan on a clear night shortly after 8 p.m. on Nov. 6, 1963, when she drove into an intersection and struck a Corvair sedan driven by 17-year-old Michael Douglas.

The police report indicates no charges were filed. That section of the report was left blank.

10. I thought the same thing.

I was ready to pay a condolence call on the grieving widow.

5. I was thinking of leaving little memorial wreaths at the foot of stopsigns

We don't have to wait until Nov. 6th to do it, either.

8. It's not meant to be "funny"... it's meant to be "dark political satire"

6. Some of us might have been charged for running stop sign and had blood

tested for signs of alcohol, other drugs. It's not what you do: it's who you are.

12. Clear double standard...

Texas has special justice for "girls who will grow up to meet a future President fourteen years later and marry him".

The rest of us non-future spouses of Presidents are just screwed.

9. Just to add...

...I read the boy was a friend. ...I think I read it from a excerpt of a biography of hers.

11. The 'net rumors say he was an ex-boyfriend. But we know he was a classmate

Definitely a friend, possibly an ex-boyfriend.

In any case, if he were an ex-boyfriend, it would explain why Bush spends so much time riding his bicycle-- he's got to be practice to get away from Laura if she decides to try and run him down.
