27. He's a fake cowboy.
With a fake ranch. Doesn't even know any of his country neighbors. After they leave office, they're gonna sell the ranch and move to Dallas. :puke: We don't want him either. :puke:

His favorite sport is baseball!!! Any true Texan lives & breathes football. At least as far as I know.

33. Please tell me that was sarcasm...
Some of us may have speech idiosyncrasies in Texas, but very few of us have such manufactured "accents" as Bu$h. Only those who want you to think they're Texan. Bu$h has more in common with the Hollywood Texas accent than the real one. About the closest he comes is pronouncing "doesn't it" as "duddinit" and for me, that don't get it. Once a Connecticut Yankee, always a Connecticut Yankee.

52. he doesn't list his birthplace in "Who's Who"
Edited on Wed Nov-02-05 05:16 PM by Lisa
All the other presidents do. As do his parents, and Jeb.

Seeing "Connecticut" in there would undermine all that effort and money, at creating an artificial image!

29. Think of it this way,
When Bush's family moved to Texas, Connecticut's IQ raised quite a few points.

44. In mass we've been seeing "2K - WHY?" on overpasses.
One was even located on the disrespectfully covered with flags "redneck" bridge on Rt95 the other day. The rednecks took it down but left their disrespectful "decoration" of the bridge with flags. I'm of a mind to go tear down that disrespectful display leaving only the one flag in the middle of the bridge that's actually on a stick. RW redneck morons are so fucking stupid.

46. Yes, I have seen them as well--I'd like to see more of them, too!
Sometimes, ya just gotta PUSH an issue, especially one as important as that one is.

Say, did you know that Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) was from Boston, MA??

He used to be a cab driver, and once had JFK as a fare....

48. Leonard was driving out in California when he met JFK
But the anecdote and his origins are in the link in my post, above. I always used to wonder if he originally had a Boston accent, and what Spock might sound like with one!!!
