1. That's a nature v. nurture question...
... and I think Bush is the product of the worst of both. I think he still would have become a spoiled, nasty little shit.

2. humm....
Seeing as though most of the Kennedys are well spoken, articulate people, my guess would be they would mistake him for a mentally challenged child and he would have been put in a 'special school'

He would have been the child mysteriously missing from most family photographs and not much mentioned or referenced to the outside world

But thats only a guess
(is that too mean?)

4. Same here, he's a very limited little man
with no insight and almost no potential for growth.

He'd have been one of the shallow Kennedys, spending his time yachting and skiing.

3. haha, I doubt that would change anything
I bet there are some Republicans in the Kennedy clan because there certainly are some Democrats in the Bush KKKlan.

5. I dunno, I think as much as genetics affected him, growing up
w/ ma and pa * had to be very hard emotionally.

7. The more relevant question
Edited on Sun Dec-12-04 12:06 AM by Sick_of_Rethuggery
(considering how he acts as if he hit a home-run when he was born on 3rd base) is:

Where would he be, if Barbara Bush had put him up for adoption and a family of very modest means had taken him in?


On Edit: :-)

8. the media would have gone after him for the first bad thing he did
and he would be considered just another one of those immoral kennedy people.

but that's not the case so they look past his being drunk through his 50's. his drunk driving arrests. his awol in the guard. and of course all the other lies he spews every fucking time he opens his disgusting mouth.
