"you really believer there were several hundred more qualified... LOL"

>>> Sure, the list of applicants is public... Texas had several hundred on their waiting list that scored higher (& were there longer) than Bush... who scored only one point away from mandatory ineligibility.

"Well when I have a job to do... The son of a decorated WW II pilot goes to the top of my list if I am familiar with the family. I don't care about paper qualifications."

>>> OK. So, it's who one is related to - not the 'content of their character', or their abilities, that matters to you. You are a member of the 'Good Ole Boy Club'... one hand washes the other... and backs scratched all around.
