The young Bush -- and his life of early disadvantage..... |
|
I encountered this quote, and simply could not believe it.
"Mr Bush said he was looking forward to staying with the Queen - even though he joked that he had to rent a morning suit for the formalities.
"Obviously, staying at Buckingham Palace is going to be an historic moment. I never dreamt when I was living in Midland, Texas, that I would be staying in Buckingham Palace."
Why not? Was it because he'd never heard of it? He was always a child of privilege.
It reminds me of the time Dan Quayle re-invented himself as a poor child who had to earn money delivering papers. I think it was Cokie Roberts who wryly commented, "he forgot to mention that his grandfather owned the paper".

One time he had to sit in coach. *gasps sarcastically* Now I wish that was my own, I got it from the daily show bio of him. A memo to GWB, dude you were well off as a kid, you wanna see someone who worked hard to get to 1600 PA Advenue, look no more than your prodecessor.

And he needs to cut brush; probably can't afford to hire someone.
