5. Ann got it from Jim Hightower -- link

A dozen years ago, speaking of George W. Bush's father, fellow Texan Jim Hightower commented: "He is a man who was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple." Today, George the Second exudes his own sense of entitlement. And his wooing of the White House press corps has begun.

2. I think Molly Ivins said it first
It's probably a "generic" put down, but especially fits Bush - he's never done one thing in his life without the help of Daddy or Daddy's cronies.

4. That line has been used for Bush since he was Governor of Texas.
It wasn't invented for him, but he owns it now.
