It took Dubya...
It took Dubya to make me actually remember the first George with fondness.

what do you expect
from someone that makes a village idiot look like a genius?
-
Indeed.
While George H.W. was hardly the model of a great president, he could handle international relations with an eye to real-world solutions that George W. utterly lacks. Of course, the cynic in me remembers that H.W. has bailed out W. before; W. is choosing to assert his independence now, of all times? Good Lord.

I Despise Them Both.. And That Creepy Mother, Too
Comparing HW with W is like comparing herpes to genital warts. HW's hand was in plenty of nefarious deals in his lifetime, some above the table and more below the table. He was no moderate -- ask Willie Horton.
And the brutish Barbara Bush... first she lowers herself to smirkingly cursing Geraldine Ferraro on late night TV for our entertainment (remember Dubya's vow to restore dignity to the White House? Maybe he meant to obliterate traces of Mama's previous residence). The cold remarks about Katrina victims were revealing enough, but when she donated money to hurricane relief and demanded it be used to purchase computer software from her venereally-diseased, hooker-besotted son Neil she showed her true colors as a grasping, cynical boor who cares for nothing but the further enrichment and entitlement of her fetid brood.
But why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?

He Could Have Headed This Off.....
It's a bit late...but do you suppose that Elderbush ever thinks that maybe, just maybe, he shouldn't have gotten the kid that cushy spot in a Texas Air Guard "Champagne Unit"? Maybe, just maybe, he should have let the kid take a few lumps here and there.

And just think...
...Bush hasn't even gone on vacation yet.

Thanks
Mark Follman has done a great job today with his blog postings in Tim's absence. I hope that there will be additional information to follow-up on this topic of Bush vs. Bush.

...he could have headed this off
I might suggest to Middle Aged Veteren that a better way to have headed this off would be for poppy bush to have used a rubber...

Bush vs. Bush, Neocons and Condi
It's not surprising that the conflict between Bush I and Bush II would come to light. But who else does daddy have to blame but himself when he gave approval for Dick Cheney to become Shrub's running mate? And then Cheney loaded the cabinet with all of the incompetents - but like thinkers - that he knew from coming up through the various Republican administrations, including the first Bush's.
Coupling this report with Sidney Blumenthal's THE NEOCON'S NEXT WAR also tells me that, with regard to Rice, they never intended for her to attain such a high level of prominence nor, I'm sure, have they EVER entertained the thought that she would be a presidential candidate. Now they're beating her down to size verbally to insure that she goes along with their plans now, and keeps her nose out of any political race in the future.
As for Bush II, he's hopeless. Nothing coming from him is his. The words and messages are all scripted by the neocons and Cheney.
In the meantime, they are creating monsters for the dumbed-down U.S. populace to hate, when those so-called monsters aren't really a concern of the neocons at all. What a sorry state this country is in today!
