<<His real fortune was made when he became a 2% owner of the Texas Rangers baseball team.>> And you say he made his fortune on 2% of the Texas Rangers. An economic miracle man, I'd say. He's got my vote. I suggest we give him 2% of the national debt when he is elected. Can you imagine how soon he could pay it off. TIA Ken

Al Gore spent 4 months in Saigon, behind the lines, with an escort to be sure in did not get into trouble. All others spent 12 months. Amazing what a Senator as your father can do for you. <<But his spectacular fortune was the direct result of government intervention on his behalf.>> TIA Ken PS: Your claim Bush received 15 million dollars for his 2% share of the Texas Rangers is a Goreism(outrightexaggeration), if not a Clintonism(outright lie) This would make the sale price of the team 750 million dollars. As of 5/1999 Fortune estimated the worth of the NY Yankees, the most valuable franchise at 451 million dollars, and the Cleveland Indians second at 359 million dollars. SEE mlb.com. Please check you sources, or do the math. K
