Bush Called To Jury Duty
WACO, Texas - President Bush could get a new title: juror No. 286. Someday, but not Monday, when he was summoned for jury duty.
The president was among 600 potential jurors summoned to report to court in McLennan County, where his 1,600-acre Crawford ranch is located.
State District Judge Ralph Strother told the Waco Tribune-Herald he expected to get a response about the summons but didn't expect Bush to report for duty.
"I don't think I'll be sending the sheriff out to bring the president in," said Strother, a Republican who has a grandson serving in Iraq. "It seems to me that the president has plenty of things to occupy his attention. Jury duty is a very important civic function, but running the country, I think, especially in wartime, takes priority over jury service."
John Kerry, however, (not having a country or a war to run) had plenty of time to serve on a jury.
Weird, though, that both Presidential candidates from the last election would be called for jury duty within weeks of one another. Really, what are the odds?
