You guys are funny. If you think that a dummy could get a BA at
Yale,
an
MBA at Harvard, own a professional baseball team, get elected and
re-elected
as governor of Texas and then elected as POTUS, then you are
obviously
the
fools.

Let's see, he got accepted at Yale, with his father's influence.
His dad bought his way to Harvard.
His families political ties, and money, got him a baseballs team,
which, by the way, had to be bailed out when he ran it into the
ground.
Nothing short of the political clout of others in big business that he
is in bed with got him elected to ANY political post.

Could be, but the same could then be said of most families of wealth and
influence, including most politicians.

Wrong response Jim- it should have been......"you have no proof of your
wild assertions" or something like that.

Some sons and daughters of the wealthy do well for themselves and
society despite their familial connections. Dubya has done well only
because of his family's wealth and connections.

I've never been able to understand why you righties are so much in love
with Bush. He's an intellectual mouse, a man of no ideas, a terrible
speaker, he lies constantly; he's a lousy father, a drunk, a cokehead,
he's little more than a figurehead, and he's gotten this country into
more trouble around the world and put it at more risk than any other
president in the last 100 years. Yet none of you righties will even
acknowledge he has serious shortcomings.

If you truly understood the issues and their significance, you couldn't help
but agree.

Amen. I may not adhere to a conservative social agenda, but a
conservative fiscal policy makes sense to me, but Bush has brought big
government back. Not including security/defense items, spending has
ground an average of over 10% per year, much of it deficit spending. The
reasons for Iraq keep mutating. Bin Laden is still bin Missin', and the
scandals make Slick Willie's administration look clean. Let's see, there
is the WMD investigation and the Niger uranium forgeries, Cheney's Energy
Task Force, the Plame Game, the Medicare Drug Scam ($400 billion becomes
$540 billion and bribes for votes), Halliburton overcharges, the GAO
investigating the White Houses' video news releases, the Chalabi Iran
"spy ring", . . .

Once again, d.f., Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar.



And Bush was a Yale grad with an MBA.


Bush got into Yale as a "legacy admission": his daddy went there. It
was a form of affirmative action.

Not sure how he managed to get a Harvard MBA, but I suspect some of
Bush
I's money had a lot to do with it.


Bush was referred to as a "legacy" by many while he was an undergrad at
Yale.

You should try and get a college admissions counselor to sit down and talk
to you sometime. Get him/her a little bit drunk. You'd be amazed at what
goes on in the name of "legacy admissions", or when a wealthy potential
donor is lurking behind the student under consideration. Or, even worse, to
quote a counselor I speak to daily, "His grades were marginal, but the
marching band needs brass and the kid's been playing trombone since he was
11."

Read something by Warren Buffet, Jack Welch or Lee Iacocca. If, after doing
so, you think Bush is in the same category, then you are even more of a
dimwit than we originally thought.

And what has being a Rhodes Scholar got to do with being a leader?



1) Please find me 100 people who would be willing to say, on live
television, that a candidate appeals to them because he's dumb.

2) It has nothing to do with leadership. It has everything to do with
potential, and the ability to interact intelligently with people and
cultures of all types. In case you haven't noticed, what the POTUS does ends
up influencing a large part of the world. Even Slovenia, or Slovakia, or
whatever.

Actually, archeologists use "Grecian" to refer to urns and stone
columns.
NOYB does not expose himself to input other than television, and a very
limited selection of input in that genre. He would not know that
"grecian"
applies to objects, not people. Therefore, your appelation of "possum
****er" sticks like glue.


Doug,
You're not really going to align yourself with perhaps the dumbest poster
to
post to rec.boats since...well...ummm, maybe...ever? Are you?

An inhabitant of Greece can be called a "Grecian" or a "Greek".

Yes, and a psychiatrist trained in hypnotism could conceivably be called a
somnambulist, but the word's not in common usage any more. Neither is
"Grecian" commonly used to refer to people, just objects. The dictionary is
full of words you *could* use. It's up to individual to know which ones are
appropriate to use.

Just another example of the righties rationalizing and apologizing for
Bush's endless gaffes...

......the modern
inhabitants of Greece are referred to, in English as
Greeks. ONLY as Greeks. Period. Full stop. The end.

'Grecian' is ONLY an adjective, never a noun.


Ahhhhh. Another dumb**** liberal to enter the fray. You seem quite a bit
dumber than the rest...except, perhaps for basskisser. Perhaps you two
are
related?

"Grecian" is another name for a "greek". Go get a dictionary. Maybe one
of
the smarter liberals could read it to you.




Hmm. Another dumb **** who was left back 3 times in 9th grade, AND missed
the GEDs. Grecian is an adjective. Greek is a noun.
