(AP) — President Bush on Tuesday lamented “large and disturb ing” gaps in what children know about U.S. history and govern ment before he boarded Air Force One to deliver a civics les son of his own: Money drives American politics. He raised $1.1 million for Republican Senate candidate Lamar Alexander, a former pres idential rival who mocked Bush and lamented the influence of money as he bowed out of the GOP primaries in 1999. It was the president’s 54th fund-raiser of the year, pushing his record-breaking total to near ly $113 million. Alexander is the second Republican seeking a Senate seat after decrying Bush’s financial advantage in the 2000 race; the other is Elizabeth Dole in North Carolina. Bush is aggressively helping Alexander, Dole and several other Republican candidates this year in hopes the GOP can recapture the Senate. “I want to thank all of you all who are involved in grass-roots politics,” Bush told some of the state’s largest Republican contrib utors, dining off white tablecloths, at an Alexander fund-raiser. “One thing people like Lamar and I understand is that we can’t win without the folks who are willing to dial the tele phones and put the signs in the yards, make sure the mailers go out on time, make sure the vot ers show up to vote.” And make sure the candidate has plenty of money. When Alexander conceded to Bush in August 1999. he lamented the influence of money on the electoral process. “If we are not careful, we’ll end up with only a race between the rich and the already famous.” he said at the time.

Scott Scherr, a Bryan attorney represent ing Comstock, blasted the petition as groundless and cruel. “It’s incredible that they would blame the collapse on a freshman,” Scherr said. “As seriously injured as [Comstock] was. and to do this to him. that’s just really sad." Comstock, the most seriously injured student in the accident, barely survived and has undergone several surgeries and a partial leg amputation.
