DISQUS

I guess the poppy Bush is still working on his legacy.... he seems determined to keep putting Bushes in the office of the president hoping one of them will turn out to be fine. Then history can point to poppy Bush as having at least one successful Bush as president.

My advice to poppy Bush: the good of the country is more important than what you want for your sons, so go away.

Stockboy- I agree entirely.

To be fair, Jeb would not be as big of a disaster as George-- but I'm sure 41 was well aware of W's limitations in 2000 and pushed him along, regardless.

kritt, Happy New Year! I agree that Jeb would not be as big of a disaster as George, but one thing I learned about the Republicans this election season is that they stick together and demand loyalty above all else. I mean, come on- Palin as VP? The GOP was behind her from the get-go even when they knew nothing about her. And the more we learned, whether it was her own scandals or her own (and husband's) successionist views and support of the AIP just a few months prior, the GOP still thought she was the best thing since white bread. And any Republican, no matter how highly regarded they may be, was banished if they dared to speak up against anything that was not the party line. Jeb may be better, but we don't need anyone who believes that loyalty trumps experience, good judgement or independent thought.

Why not trot out Neil again as well? S&L was so 20 years ago.

Jesus, I'm tired of the political aristocracy in this nation. The aging Duke of Yale-on-the-Oilsound is sad to see his son, Hotspur "W" Bush, tarnish his the family's contributions to the kingdom, but is now interested in grooming his other son, the Earl of Florida, ascend the throne some day. Meanwhile, a princess of the House of Kennedy seeks to have a seat on the drinking table in the King's Meadhall, while the current lords and nobles and huscarls are dismayed by the deft coup d'etat of the throne by the Moor, General Obama. The General rose through the ranks of the Brotherhood of the Donkey quickly and was groomed to become a stout King's Advisor but seized power for himself from Lady Clinton, who had hoped to become regent after her husband, the late King, had expired from Scorn.

That was fun to write.

Lit3Bolt- Hilarious comment!!!

SB- Happy New Year to you too- hope you did some serious partying!

I learned that about Republicans, when they defended people like Alberto Gonzales and Lurita Doan during last year's congressional hearings. Therefore, I was not surprised when they kept insisting that Palin was a qualified pick for VP. It all goes back to Reagan's 11th commandment--- never criticize a fellow Republican. So they've acted blind, deaf and dumb since 2001, LOL!
