I think you guys are looking too hard. The guy is just a typical Texas loudmouth. Its a stereotypical character that is not the most interesting side of the state. They find excuses for their own faults and love to catagorize people as good or bad and would catagorize what I'm saying as prejudice; however, I've been there and this is not prejudice but observation. It really is a stereotypical character which the state seems to cultivate. Richard Armey has it, Phil Gramm has it and in spite of their ability to raise money, no one ever took them seriously as presidential material. But Bush was a candidate made by a committee and he likes easy targets and loves to have Laura up there on his arm to show. I've known so many loudmouths and I've known the kind of quiet characters (also a sterotype) who on an individual basis were good for their word and dangerous to cross. I don't think Bush would be anything at all without his gang and his family. Just a shallow loudmouth who seems kind of sad. What I find amazing is that know one sees him as a sad character. His affect is clearly so.
Also why would his daughters be so disrespectful of Dad and Mom and their place in the nation as to show up drunk on the local TV? We never saw Chelsea anything but discreet and she was the brunt of jokes from Republicans across the board, not for what she did, but for her adolescent "looks". Even McCain had to apologize for his poor taste when a reporter heard him. But America seems to love this family. As for me, I agree with Hutton about the Good Society as opposed to the "Good Economy." I think this whole crew shows a remarkable lack of class even though they do abscound with every penny they can. I can't call it class warfare for they clearly have no class to war from or for.
