Dems seem to think we're all too stupid and helpless to "look at our world" without their guidance and direction (to show us exactly how to look at it, and what to think about it).
Never mind President Bush's cowboy boots and Texas twang. This 1968 Yale graduate is such a creature of the Establishment, says author Alexandra Robbins, that he hires from a talent pool supplied by Skull and Bones -- the secret society to which Dubya and his dad, the first president George Bush, remain fiercely loyal.
Robbins ... told us that William H. Donaldson, the new nominee to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission, is merely the latest in a long line of Bush administration Bonesmen. They include Assistant Attorney General Robert McCallum and Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago Roy Austin -- both classmates of Bush as well as Bones brothers -- and Edward McNally, general counsel to the Office of Homeland Security. ...
"President Bush likes to feign detachment from Yale and the Northeastern Establishment, but they really did shape his life," explained Robbins, herself a 1998 Yale graduate and a member of a rival senior society, Scroll and Key. "And he's actually following one of the key tenets of Skull and Bones -- which is that once you get into a position of power, you bring other members up with you. The whole purpose of Skull and Bones is to elevate its members to power and wealth. I think if people across the country were to read my book, they'd be quite dismayed that their president is a member of a secret society and that he has some sort of allegiance to this secret group."
Trilateral Commission, anyone? WashPost
Anyone here feeling dismayed?
