"Bush on Friday stumbled over his words and sometimes appeared nervous in his first public speech" Uncle George could give him some pointers on mangling the English language.......

Nobody seems to remember H.W.'s affinity for word salad,since Dubya outdid the old man, but Poppy was far from eloquent. It may well be a familial trait.

Not another Bush please, not even a "little brown one".

profession BUT politics for the last century. If not for inheritance trust funds and POLITICS, these guys would STARVE. Let's just elect him, and consider it a form of 'welfare.'

I would rather pay them not to go into politics.

Offering the Bush family positions with big corporations is like offering METHODONE to heroin addicts. Give them a 'soft' drug so they'll be able to resist the temptations of the nastier drugs.

He's probably waiting for the Chamber of Commerce to set him up with a seven-figure a year 'consulting' job on their board of governors to keep him out of government. That's basically what they were trying to do when they gave Neil Bush that job running the S&L and George W. that job on the board of SPECTRUM 7. They even gave him a BASEBALL team to play with...but it was all for naught. He just couldn't keep his hands out of the cookie jar of politics.

Jesus, what a fucked-up family.

If you are going to run for public office, you should at least be able to speak!

I don't think any of the Bushes are big on book larnin.

to the Kennebunkport compound, after searching fruitlessly one evening for something to read, finally came up with a copy of 'The Fart Book'.

That says it all about the Bushes, I guess...

It's believable considering the illiteracy apparent of the whole family every time one of them opens their mouth. Remember when Dubya demanded that anything crossing his desk, even complicated policy, had to be on one page or a Cliff Notes version? He didn't want to read anything in depth.

Yeah, I do remember that. And I wasn't a bit surprised when I did. W acted like a guy who wanted the privilege and prestige of the Presidency, but didn't want to do any of the heavy lifting.

Kind of like the stories you hear about football jocks goofing off in class because the coach has bullied the teachers into passing all the members of the sports teams, regardless of academic performance.

I don't know if that's a myth or not; when I was in high school, most of the jocks were in the Honor Society, and not numbskulls at all.

prowess and athletic skills but they had to keep up a grade average, so the nerdy guys among the grad students had to tutor these guys just to get them to pass their exams. Otherwise they were treated like royalty, with expensive hotel suites, credit cards and all other kinds of perks the ordinary students didn't get.

Because that's all I know about this particular 'Bush.'

What a "special" kid.

Hear our cries...

How long must Texas endure this plague of Bushes. And while you're at it, Perry, Cornyn, and Cruz are as boils on our skins. Please remove them we pray.

And last but not least, spare us from Rove. He has never been elected to any office but he saps our votes as a leech.

I humbly pray,
AnneD

all he has to do is not fuck it up.

And before you know it, he'll be in a position to lie us into another war and ruin many peoples' lives.

Keep it simple and simply corrupt.
