Because in Texas your criminal record is attached to your driver's license. Sometime between his inauguration in January 1995 and March 31, 1995, George W. Bush got a new driver's license issued with the unusual ID number of 000000005, such action destroyed the records of his previous license. George W. Bush's birthday is July 6, 1946 and his license was not near expiration, but he obtained his new number on March 31, 1995 as a renewal -- And getting a new, low-numbered license, #000000005, and issued on 3/31/95 is NOT a common practice of past Texas Governors, since none of the holders of lower numbers were in that category. This unusual change in Bush's driver license number could offer sufficiently supporting evidence that he needed to hide something significantly incriminating; additional evidence of an attempt to hide his past includes the sudden disappearance from his record of an admitted minor crime, he was convicted and fined for killing a protected wildlife species, as reported on September 2, 1994, in the Houston Chronicle . Can you imagine what the press would be saying if Clinton, Gore or a Kennedy had attempted such a cover-up? -- You'll NEVER hear the end of it in the blatantly conservative US mainstream media.

I not sure why "W" the drunk ass got a new licence, but his better half killed someone years ago!

George W. Bush tried to hide his D.U.I. arrest record by changing his D.L.

Today, Bush denies all knowledge of those squalid indiscretions.

One of the reasons should be, according to his biographer J.H. Hatfield, George W. Bush got popped in Texas on cocaine possession charges. And the habitual drunk driving, of course.

Because George W. Bush's past is, to say the very least, shady.
