One has to simply look at GWB in the context of his family and his upbringing. His family has been a member of Washington insider relationships for many years. Yet Bush is NOT the poster boy politician his father was. He’s a good ol’ boy who loved baseball enough to buy into a team and make some good cash. When it came time to follow the family business (politics), what else was he going to do but use the family connections. And those connections were NOT confined to the Republican Party.
So, we have a President who’s honest and open in his dealings as any good ol’ boy should be, not politically oriented especially, and because of that, politically inept and shortsighted; relying on his family’s connections to wade through that morass. While it’s made him look quite effective in certain instances, it’s also buried him in political gamesmanship; something he’s not at all suited for.
You can count on Joe Farrah to start a game of “PILE ON”.
And watch the geeks crawl out of the woodwork...all knowing...keen of insight and “I told you so’s”.
Passive aggressive psycotics rally ‘round!
It was almost this fun when Rome burned.
