Putting GWB in the WH after WJC had spent years guiding the fiscal train back onto the tracks (that Reagan had steered it off of) was one of the biggest mistakes in U.S. history.

3. Then again, we didn't "put him in"

He stole the election with some help from Katherine Harris, James Baker, Dick Cheney, and his dad's golfing buddies on the Supreme Court.
