• He visited Wokingham, Berks, in 1996 for the stag party of his half-sister’s fiancé, but left when a stripper arrived.
Gotta suck being a career politician sometimes.
• As a teenager he took drugs including marijuana and cocaine
But not a single person has brought this up, despite GW’s past drug use coming up all the time. I don’t care about either of them doing it, but does show you the bias.
• His house in Chicago has four fire places
My pick for most useless fact on the list.
• He drives a Ford Escape Hybrid, having ditched his gas-guzzling Chrysler 300
Gotta suck being a career politician sometimes.
