Joe published an interesting article earlier today about Bush 41 aids being fed up with Bush 43, that they believe that Bush 43 is destroying his father’s legacy, etc. I just read this great post by Dick Polman about this subject.
They feel somewhat emboldened by the fact that 41 alumnus Jim Baker (as I mentioned last Friday) is co-helming an Iraq commission that is mandated by Congress to help the son find some light at the end of the tunnel. But all this intra-family tension will probably underscore most Americans’ traditional suspicion of family political dynasties. And as a measure of the public’s Bush fatigue, look no further than the recent Fox News poll which posited a hypothetical 2008 match-up between Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton. The president’s brother came up short, by 15 percentage points.
That’s how you know things are bad for the Bush family, when Hillary winds up looking good.
After the part about Bush 41 vs. Bush 43, Dick writes about Kuo’s book “Tempting Faith” and – later – Fred Barnes.
Read the whole thing: it provides for a great read.
