Did Bush Commit Perjury?
We know that in 1976 President Select Bush was convicted of DUI (driving 
under the influence) in Kennebunkport Maine.  The Daily Brew has learned 
from reliable sources that after that conviction, Bush regularly 
operated his family's King Air (about a 4 million dollar twin 
turboprop), as a civilian.  However, to maintain his FAA license, Bush, 
like all licensed pilots, would have had to submit his medical exam by a 
Aviation Medical Examiner at least every 2 years.  Persons filling out 
that exam are REQUIRED by federal law to disclose any DWIs at the time 
of the pilot's aviation medical examination. Any false or misleading 
statements on that form are federal offenses. Pilots who have DWIs must 
have their medical flight clearance revoked for 3 years (and The Daily 
Brew understands back then it was 5). Then they have to apply for 
reinstatement, and give reasons why they feel they have recovered from 
their alcoholism (such as treatment records).

If Bush filed a flight plan between 1978 and 1981, that would constitute 
prima facie evidence that Bush had a valid pilot's license after 1978. 
If the FAA issued President Select Bush a medical certificate after 
1976, the Daily Brew believes that would constitute prima facie evidence 
that Bush committed perjury in filling out his medical certificate.
