1992 George H.W. Bush (keep in mind when CNN fluffs him Sunday)


An on-the-record quote from 1992:

Reporter Sarah McClendon: "What will the people do if they ever find out the truth about Iraq-gate and Iran contra?

Another Poppy outraged quote, when reporters questioned him about Neil's S&L, Jeb Crow's Medicare scams, and Shrub's whatever: "My boys have a RIGHT to make a living!1"
