Yes.  See _Spy_ magazine's 1988 issue with the article on "1001 reasons
not to vote for George Bush."  Number 1: he cheats on his wife.  The
article named names and circumstances; the story was widely known among
journalists but I don't know if anyone else published it.  Others included
lying to Congress about Iran-Contra, his fake arranged drug deal in the
park across from the White House so that he could pump up the "War on
Drugs" by holding up a bag of crack on national TV.  Odd, since the
CIA--which Bush used to head--helped introduce crack to this country in
the first place (http://www.sjmercury.com/drugs/).

I think you're the one in the dark.
