presidents accountable to higher standards than, say, a pseudocowboy with a walnut-sized brain who is embarrassing them at every turn of the road.
Bush at Yale just doesn't sit right with a lot of people. He didn't seem to take learning very seriously then and by extension he isn't taking public service very seriously now.
Touchy bunch, those Connecticut folks, and bless 'em all for it.

Holy Joe.
I tend to like dark blue Democrats better than pale blue Democrats, especially when it comes to Lieberman's extraordinarily loud support of George W. Bush's illegal war.

Do what you can to keep Connecticut as blue as possible.
I really like the times I've spent there.

I got to visit for the first time last year, and went to New Haven and then up the western part of the state. Everyone I met was friendly, and the scenery was spectacular. And the Wandering Moose restaurant makes the best steak and onion soup I've ever eaten.

10. Interesting observation |
|
In May, 2001, Bush was given an honorary degree at Yale, along with some others, including actor Sam Waterston, who was an Eli by grace of a scholarship, and who has worked to support his alma mater ever since. Sam was given a larger and louder ovation than Bush. But then Sam deserved his honorary degree, because he worked for his original one and helped Yale in years afterward.

14. There it is. I think the phoniness people perceive in Bush dates back |
|
to college days, maybe even long before. Can't say for sure, but he doesn't resonate as an accomplished adult.

9. I find saying this pisses off conservatives |
|
Real cowboys don't use the word "summer" as a verb as in, "We summer at Kennebunkport."

11. And calling Bush a Texan ticks off REAL Texans |
|
Saying Bush is a Texan is fighting words around my neck of the woods, where 5th and 6th generation Texans live.
