Ron Reagan Jr's thoughts on the bushies [View All]

[AnnInLa]

Was just reading this in KK's book. Ron doesn't have a very high opinion of the bushies:

"There's a sense of entitlement that all the bushes have. They feel as if they're entitled to everything that comes their way. I know that the first president bush felt that he deserved to be President because it was his 'turn' to be President. It was his due. He'd served all the people he was supposed to have served. He'd put in the time. He'd done favors for all the powerful people he needed to do favors for. So, in his mind,he deserved to be President...His son george w bush was 'run' for President. They, the party establishment, came to him and said, 'You've got the name recognition, we can raise the money and run you...' I think they looked around at the other potential candidates and thought, "There's no one else out there we can control.' They found the perfect empty vessel in W. He'll go wherever the wind will go. And 'they're' in charge of the wind. That doesn't mean he's stupid. I don't believe he is. I think he's of average intelligence...My sense of him is that he's not ideologically motivated at all. But he's certainly willing to use an ideology to benefit himself. I think W's ideology is the ideology of self."
