Bush to a ‘Tee’

■ ■

When Manhattan PR superstar Lizzie Grubman backed her van into a crowd at a nightclub on Long Island, she quickly fled the scene. Less than an hour later, someone called the police and said where she could be found—apparently in an attempt to help her avoid charges of leaving the scene. When police picked her up, however, she refused to say anything. Because the police could not even establish that she had been in the car, there was no probable cause for administering a Breathalyzer test. Thus she avoided charges of driving while under the influence.
