Stale routine, by a professional "maverick Republican"

He'll use Buchanan's stage one day, Wenner's the next. And he's been doing it forever.

Not too "close" to Wenner, I hope.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Which is why I like him.

Bush has done some very good things, but also some very bad. His medicare insanity , and if it ever passes, legalizing the illegals, will do damage to this country long after he's gone.

Don't forget about Teddy and FDR.

With the Bush family, the Saudis hit a gusher -- direct access to presidents Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush..."
