[Theodore R.]

Why do the Bushes still so loathe Pat Buchanan and blame him for the defeat of the first Bush -- even though Pat worked hard to elect BushQuayle92 after the convention? Yet, they give awards to EMK and fete him regularly at the White House or Camp David? EMK openly defies the Bushes the more they do for him. One would think that the Bushes play favorites there, but why? Doesn't EMK say that "No Child Left Behind Act" is his bill? And the bill is already proving to be a failure, right?

[Theodore R.]

Almost as persona non grata to the Bushes as Pat Buchanan is poor Dan Quayle. He now lives in AZ and had to get out of politics -- he was ridiculed mercilessly by the media though he came from a media background himself. Quayle voted for the MLK holiday, but Democrats constantly claimed he had a "racist" past. Another irony that makes politics so fascinating! Some Republicans spend their whole careers trying to pacify Democrats, only to see too late that they could never pacify such people.
