Bush on the high ground again? Quick, grab the car keys! As an independent, Bush's military AWOL record disqualified him from further consideration. The military vote in his behalf appears to be more knee-jerk than well-considered. The GOP activists pre-ordained Little Lord Fauntleroy as the heir apparent boy prince formerly known as Lush, and damn near gave away an election that John McCain would have breezed through. This country thought it had a royal family once in the Kennedys. And at least there, Joe Kennedy had the good sense to buy Jack friends his own age instead of loaning out his contemporaries, as Pappy Bush has done. But don't get me wrong. I expect Bush to prevail. In fact, I hope he does. There's no better way to demonstrate how out of touch the party regulars are. And when both Bush Boys are beaten, maybe, just maybe, the GOP will grow up and defeat its royalist wing. Both parties nominated some of the weakest candidates in memory and that, more than any other, was the chief factor that led to the present morass. Pappy Bush had his flaws but he was twice the leader his son is. I sure hope the GOP has learned its lesson, before it becomes a useless anachronism. And the endless spin on both sides is so partisan and polarizing that it changes no minds at all.
