It is too funny. From: rushonline.com This idea grows from a basic EIB Maxim, namely that some clown gets elected to office and suddenly he's an expert on everything. Well, what about the economy? Dub has a Harvard MBA and private sector experience up the wazoo. [what a coincidental choice of expression!] What does Daschle have? He has a political science degree and a life where he never worked for anything but the government. Look at these points: Bush: Bachelor of History from Yale. Daschle: Bachelor of Political Science from South Dakota State U. Bush: a Masters Degree in Business Administration from Harvard Daschle: no post-graduate degree in economics or anything else Bush: 11 years as an owner and an employee in private business Daschle: no private-sector experience. Never owned, never started, a business Bush: 5 years as partner in revitalizing MLB franchise, the Texas Rangers. Daschle: 5 years on the public payroll as an aide to an ultra-liberal senator. Bush: Six years as chief executive of the 2nd-largest state of 28 million people Daschle: Fifteen years, one of three statewide representatives of the 46th-largest state of 696,004 people Bush: Texas is the size of 36 New Jerseys and has a 1,254-mile international trade border. Daschle: South Dakota is the size of ten New Jerseys and has no international trade border. Bush: the gross state product of Texas ranks third of the 50 states. Daschle: the gross state product of South Dakota ranks 47th of the 50 states. Bush: In 2000, citizens of Texas earned $1,729 more per capita than those in South Dakota and had $1,061 more in disposable income. Daschle: In 2000, SD ranked ten states behind Texas in per capita income.* Bush: Texans earned third place in total personal income for the year 2000. Daschle: South Dakota earned 47th place in TPI for the year 2000.* Bush: In 1999, a Site Selection's corporate survey ranked Texas' business climate #1 of all states. Daschle: In 1999, it ranked South Dakota's business climate #22 of all states. Now, these are all on a totally serious vein, as proposed by Dean here at RushLimbaugh.com, but let's look at the personal too. Bush: stands six feet tall. Daschle: Five foot six inches- in heels. Bush: Big feet, big hands. Daschle: Small feet, small hands. (You do the math.) Bush: 32 teeth. Daschle: Four rows of 40-teeth each, like a shark. Daschle: Banned from Victoria's Secret. Bush: Not. I wanted to throw that one in, and have fun with their heads out there. But these are amazing facts, are they not? You never, ever hear a word about President Bush having a Harvard MBA, do you? You never hear about him having a degree in history from Yale. It's taken as conventional wisdom that Mr. Bush is a boob, a frat boy, and he just slid through life on his name. It's not true, folks. Bush has experience on the economy - both in the classroom and in the real world - while all Daschle has ever studied and done involves winning elections in a small, relatively business-unfriendly state. Who can we trust to know how nations revive economies and recessions and create jobs? The answer is crystal clear. From: "Mona Losh"
