Bush, running neck-and-neck with Democratic rival Al Gore (news - web
sites), also questioned the timing of the report -- five days before the
Nov. 7 election -- saying, ``I have my suspicions.''
The Gore campaign has denied any involvement in leaking the news.
``I'm not proud of that. I've often said that years ago I made some
mistakes,'' Bush told reporters. ``I regret that it happened. But it did ...
I stopped drinking 14 years ago and I haven't had a drop since.''
Asked why he had not disclosed the incident earlier, Bush said:
``I didn't want my girls to do the same thing. I'm not trying to get away
with anything. I didn't want to talk about this in front of my daughters. I
didn't want them drinking and driving. It was a decision I made.''
Bush said he was arrested after a drinking session with former Australian
tennis star John Newcombe. In the car as well were Newcombe's wife and two
other people.
Bush campaign spokeswoman Karen Hughes said Bush, who was 30 at the time,
pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of driving while under the influence,
paid a $150 fine, and had his license temporarily suspended in the state of
Maine.
