3. W has a 1st cousin , Prescott III, and his son,Prescott, IV (Scotty)
Edited on Thu Feb-23-06 11:59 PM by Divernan
After graduating from Yale in 1986 or so, Scotty got hired by a NY investment bank, but washed out of the training program. As his classmates said, the Bushes like to party, but they're not too smart.

7. Prescott Jr. gave "Bar" her nickname cause she looked like a horse!
According to an anecdote in Kitty Kelly's book, during WW Two, the Bushes navigated Kennebunkport, Maine in a horse drawn carriage. Prescott Bush, Jr., notices that the family's horse, Barzil, looks a bit like George H.W.'s then-girlfriend. He gives them both the nickname, Bar.(pp. 72-73)

And on page 467, Kelly quotes an associate on Barbara, "She can make a clean kill from a thousand yards away.When she delivers the life-taking blow, she does it with a thin-lipped smile. . . did you ever see an asp smile?"

8. You can still tape it
It repeats at 1:30AM, 10:30AM and 8:30PM eastern time (though I don't know if the latter two repeats will be on Friday or Monday)

11. It's on again three more times within the next few hours
It's on again at 1:30 a.m.--in a little more than 45 minutes; and again at 11:30 a.m. and then at 8:30 p.m. (I am not sure about 8:30 p.m. on Fridays). In other words, check your local listings. It is on again at least 3 more times.

And I agree, it was great and so was the Daily Show--Jon Stewart was so funny laughing at his role in the animated movie.

4. He's taking apart Brooks's arguments like a saber fencer dices a carrot
Edited on Thu Feb-23-06 11:58 PM by htuttle
...With a big sarcastic smile on his face. :)

Really deft if you pay close attention.

"Why is the President going on Facts on this one? It's not his strong suit."

5. Did you catch what he closed with?
The Republicans will hold ALL the Senate and House seats?

I sincerely doubt that Brooks is in the know with this administration, but what if that really happened?
