Bush indeed spent quite a bit of his younger years in Texas and chose to come back to, wait for it ……., MIDLAND to live and work. He may not get kudos for where he went to school but he shouldn’t get bashed for it either. When done with that and ready to start a life and family he moved to Midland Texas, hardly the move of an east coast fop that many would like to portray. When he retires is there any doubt that he will be back here in Texas, or will he be moving to New York?

Ivins was left-wing loserish trash most of the time but she came up with an even better gem (to me, at least) than the quote you provided, J.S. “He was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple.”

Boy, is that Kuwaiti buying a load of bull! But this gave me a good laugh to start out the day.

As my straight off the boat from Ireland grandmother use to say “what a crock of sh***!!”

A rural boy from TX? Very amusing. What was it Molly Ivins used to say, “born with a silver foot in his mouth” – I’d say she nailed it. Still, I suppose the Kuwaiti can be forgiven for an active imagination.

You’ll like that writeup, Rudi (and others).

This is something that happened long ago. Is it familiar to you today?

And he just looked at me for the longest time and didn’t say anything, and just stared. … [I]t was like he was trying to make the wheels spin but they would not. It’s about that time that I figured out that George Junior is no mental giant.

Floor yielded.

How does East coast prep and college schools qualify as a rural backround. It gives him country club (and Bush-Senior-retread) Republican character in addition to his definitely rural past history, in Midland-Odessa, Texas. He was out in the oil patch, not in Greenwich, Connecticut, in times past.

DLS – Jeb isn’t all that loved in Florida. Crist has taken stands against the Jebadiah, I think the rednecks love the current gov more. How does East coast prep and college schools qualify as a rural backround. Mickey Huckabee has a real rural backround, not the spoiled rich kid of Bush 41.

Hey, Sam — I was thinking of ya, buddy, earlier. If the current GOP field looks so weak it won’t be able to beat Hillary Clinton, don’t be surprised to see Dubya’s Brother from Florida enter the race or be “drafted”!

Thought I’d make your day. Keep your meal down.

Rural upbringing? As in he was some sort of farm hand or something? Gimme a break.
