    Damn BucK

    Did you say the same thing about Bush. Talk about affirmative-action. He was admitted on a Legacy program. His grades were not great either. You know as I do he can't string to together two sentences. What merit did George Bush have to be President. MOst of the business he ran went under. That dummy traded one of the best baseball players when he owned the Rangers.

    Did you say the same thing about "Brownie?" Bush appointed a man that was judging horse shows to head FEMA. Talk about affirmative-action. Now we find out that Ms. Goodling was not hiring people based on qualifications to be attorney-generals, she was hiring them on their political beliefs.

    Don't even go their on that affirmative-action crap. We have seen the last 8 years that most of the white boys in office are incompetent and only got where they are because people vote for people that they feel comfortable with.
