*: "slewers and jeers"
Speaking about Brown v. Board like he invented it.
Speaking of a little black girl (ah the tender picture he paints) in school suffering "slewers and jeers".
Slurs, maybe?

The moran of all morans.

4. Be glad it didn't come out "Sewers & Jars" or "Scours & Jews" or some such
Bush reminds me of a Molly Ivins story about a former Texas state politician who announced that he was going to learn Spanish. One of his opponents remarked, "Great, now he'll be bi-ignorant."

9. My take :p
Edited on Mon May-17-04 01:50 PM by ElectroPrincess
Dubya burned-out many brain cells getting drunk and snorting cocaine in his YOUTH (under fourty years old for the wealthy). Even the most intelligent kids "dim some" if they abuse too many drugs, but if you start off "less than average" ummm, well then you're libel to end up like Bush 43. Be afraid yah - now that's an effective anti-drug abuse argument. :-)

It's tragic that his daughters' are following in his footsteps. I wish I were their Mom, I'd square them away. They're not lost yet but ole' Laura seemingly has "let go."

Guess intelligence and achievement in Dynasties is now tending to skip two generations. ; )

14. he doesn't make excuses
in fact he proudly flaunts his lack of insight and inquisitiveness...he went to Andover, Yale and Harvard - largely as a courtesy to poppa, be even so something must have sunk in - yet he openly criticizes northeast intellectuals, going so far as saying things like he doesn't like to read much, etc., even though that is precisely his upbringing and heritage.

7. I hate it when he gives speeches like this (more than all the other ones)
It seems like he thinks he is teaching all of us about history and civil rights.

You watch and just are amazed at what an idiot he is.
