[George W. Bush]

Yeah all of us uneducated rednecks would be so much better off if all of you educated Yankees helped us become New York or Massachusetts or even California. So come on down and save us but bring a lunch.

You miss the point. I don't want anything to do with education in your state. It's your problem and only you can fix it. And I don't want you to have anything to do with my state. And I don't want unelected Washington bureaucrats and presidential appointees to dictate education policy to any state.

It seems you don't grasp the basic idea.

And, yes, Texas is a backward state in education. At least, it is to those of us who consistently are in the top 10% decade after decade.

And it's not about how much money is spent or what kind of students are put into the schools. But then, if Texans knew that, they would have had higher achievement all along. I suppose we Yankees really should be more tactful to those states who clung so stubbornly to the Dim party until the last decade.

If Bush wants to export a Texas policy to the nation, how about the legal right to shoot trespassers on your property? Instead, he cuddled up with the Brady Bunch on the AWB.

That is great but you should get a passing acquaintance with it somewhere. When some ignorant jerk calls a state “backwards” especially a state that could drive the country into bankruptcy should it so desire, just shows how stone stupid he is.

He has done this how?
