48. You didn't have to delve too deeply into W's political life to know |

that he has always been a receptacle for graft. All I read was "Shrub" by Molly Ivins. The AWOL story was stuffed while Rathers was made an example. The media studiously ignored Bush's incredible history of failed businesses and questionable bailouts - even his insider trading -while they went after Gore for sighing, wearing the wrong color suits, being wooden, not being likable, ie., someone you'd like to have a beer with while they wrecked your country... Bush was someone to restore dignity and honor, a likable, trustable, one-of-us - in unspun terms, a complete fraud.
It's big. It's very big, and we have no choice but to try and fix it. Lots of people put different dates on what "it" is, but it didn't just happen, it's not just George W. Bush, and it's not going away by itself.
