[Art.] There was precious little rapport between the populist figures populating the Reagan circle and the Eastern establishment retinue of the son of the patrician Sen. Prescott Bush.

Correction here: Pressy Bush got his start as a shoe salesman in Ohio and got the idea to better himself by going East to attend Yale, where he diligently brown-nosed, facilitated, convenienced, and did much service for the rich snots in varsity sweaters. Then he parlayed old school ties into a U.S. Senate seat.

Sequaciousness was a hallmark of both Pressy and Poppy.

And snobbery.

Whenever I hear HW Bush and Reagan mentioned together for some reason I think of the former using the occasion of the latter’s memorial service to make crappy jokes about Millie, his dog.
