Marvin Gandall refers to > another crude Texan, LBJ< besides GWB. I think there's a difference here: LBJ was a born-and-bred crude Texan, trained to rule his roost in a paternalistic (if crude) way. But Dubya seems to have adopted his Texanism -- since after all he was born in Connecticut. I don't know when he moved to TX, but all the evidence suggested that the "crude Texas" style fit well with his intellectually lazy preppy frat-boy with dyslexia style along with his political goals (proving he was a "man of the people" via poor syntax). -- Jim Devine / "In the Soviet Union, capitalism triumphed over communism.
