Bullshit. Do you have any credible proof of that.

Yeah, I’m going to have to join in asking "WTF? :dubious: "  
I recall one woman alleging an affair with Bush during the 1992 election campaign, and as I remember it nobody took her seriously. Aside from that, I’ve never heard anyone claim that Bush cheated on his wife.

As I recall, it wasn’t even that. He had a long time secretary and there were allegations that they had an affair. The allegations didn’t come from her or anyone who knew them well.

My folks were married for 62 years, and it would have been longer, if some…person…hadn’t struck my dad with his truck while dad was on his motorcycle.
