Symbolic of... Something Or Other
Special Earth Day Bush Archive Treasure:
Time Magazine, September 12, 1994
SECTION: PEOPLE; Pg. 93
LENGTH: 88 words
HEADLINE: Sitting Duck
BYLINE: By GINIA BELLAFANTE
BODY:
It is a rite of Texas politics that on the first day of dove season, candidates go ahunting -- with cameras in tow. GEORGE W. BUSH, a son of the former President, is running for Governor, and he dutifully appeared near dawn one day last week to do some dove shooting. Instead he shot a killdeer, a protected species whose flight and markings are distinctly undovelike. Bush was fined $130 and was mocked by aides to his opponent, Governor Ann Richards (who also was out that morning with a shotgun but didn't hit anything).
