After a two year hiatus, George Bush is finally speaking up. Among other things, Bush said that Sarah Palin isn't qualified to be President. He criticized John McCain for putting her on the ticket in 2008, stating that McCain is much less of a man for doing so.
Let's do a little compare and contrast:
George Bush was born in Connecticut with a silver foot in his mouth. His daddy handed him everything, including a prep school education and admission into Yale. He was draft dodger and a drunk. After he became President, he ruined the GOP and the country with his big spending, big deficit programs, along with an ill-premised war against a country (Iraq) that didn't attack us and posed little threat to us.
Sarah Palin was born in Sandpoint Idaho (a very beautiful, but really out of the way place). Her dad was a school teacher and her mom was a secretary. Palin attended the University of Idaho. She worked as a sportscaster (like Reagan). In Alaska, she worked her way up from City Councilman, to Mayor, to Governor. Over the last year, Palin has been one of the two most influential politicians (along with Jim DeMint) in rehabilitating the GOP after the Bush nightmare.
Pappy Bush looked down on Reagan just like Junior Bush looks down on Palin. But who actually ruined the GOP and the country? The Bush family.
The sad fact is that the Bush family have become a low budget version of the Kennedy's to the GOP faithful. I don't understand it. I certainly don't agree with it. And it has to end.
