If the deals were shady as you claim you would think he would have made a lot of money. Yet you also claim that he is a business failure. Give it up.

Are you aware of how many millions of dollars W made from his short association with the Texas Rangers? Millions that he could never have made but for his name? Are you aware of how, as governor, he opened up the University of Texas, $13 billion endowment fund (for the first time in history) to make loans to private individuals and companies? Or that his cronies took full advantage of their new-found bonanza?

If you are interested in checking up on this (which I doubt), go to your local library and look at some Harper's Monthly magazines from earlier this year. The article is entitled "How George W. Bush made a fortune with the help of a lot of swell friends and made a lot of friends rich in return" or something close to that. The documentation is extensive and compelling. I suspect your mind is already made up about ol W, though.
