24. Marin County - remember what big Bush said about Marin County...

The "hot-tubber" incident

In 2002, former President George H. W. Bush described "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh as "some misguided Marin county hot-tubber". His comment prompted criticism among readers of the Marin Independent Journal, until Bush sent the paper a letter of apology:

Call off the dogs, please. I surrender... I apologise. I am chastened and will never use 'hot tub' and 'Marin county' in the same sentence again.
