BUSHSHIT ON THE BRAIN (To tune of "No Business Like Show Business")

There’s no Bushshit like George Bushshit,
There’s no Bushshit I know...
Everything about it is repelling,
Everything about it is quite vain,
Everything about it is revealing
Of the low ceiling inside his brain!


BAR BUSH RAISED THE BAR AND LOWERED THE BOOM

We read in THE FAMILY (p. 262) how Barbara Bush balked at allowing a certain religion into her family. She opposed George’s first fiancé, Cathy Wolfman.

According to Cody Shearer a one-time family friend, “She [Bar] couldn’t abide the fact that Cathryn’s stepfather was Jewish... ’There’ll be no Jews in our family,’ she said.”

Does that surprise us? Of course not; the racist, prejudiced South has now completely waffled over to the Republican Party, bringing with it all the yellow dog Democrats with their history of prejudice toward races and religions other than WASPS [White Anglo-Saxon Protestants]. Sadly the South now rules America again. People who don’t know history, of course, are ignorant of those prejudices, and they’ve added in their own prejudices and hatreds for homosexuals. The Republican Party is now the party of Mr. Allprejudice. The Dems, of course, do have prejudices. They’re prejudiced against the Southern Baptist religion from which all other prejudices flow. They’re prejudiced against prejudice—which I don’t think is so bad. Prejudiced Southerners have a way of taking over whatever party they need in order to further their prejudices in the cultural life of this nation.


SOME SKULL AND BONES REJECT THE BIG BUSHSHITTER

Some of George’s classmates saw through the hard-drinking, Texas-size bullshitter and noted that though he would use his family name to get into Yale, he would refuse to study hard and perform like a Yalie. Bush was two-faced even then. Read below:

From THE FAMILY (pp. 265):

[Open quote.] Each of these men [Skull and Bones men] had distinguished himself in some activity at Yale—intellectual, athletic, or social. George’s distinction was, unquestionably, social. Years later many who lived with him in Davenport College were forced to reexamine their cherished belief that hard work triumphs over all. Some sounded cynical as they reappraised the rewards of meritocracy over aristocracy, and a bit of resentment seeped into their recollections of the young man who had skipped studying in favor of socializing and yet ended up with the most powerful job in the world.

“It’s not that anyone is jealous,” said Ken White, “because we’re all at the peak of our careers and doing quite well. It’s just that George . . . from what we knew of him then.., doesn’t seem to be the.., a... well... the best-equipped person to be President of the United States.”

“He never seemed to care about studying,” recalled Thomas Wik (Yale 1968).

“I do not consider him a well-educated man at all,” said Richard Hunter (Yale 1969).

“He put me off because he just didn’t seem like he was working very hard in school,” said John Gorman (Yale 1968). “He would appear in the morning like he’d partied all night. . . He viewed himself as a Texan and did not want to be considered part of the eastern establishment at Yale so he went out of his way to act.., crude... It’s quite amazing that someone you held in low esteem later becomes President.”

The stories of George’s alcoholic escapades at Yale traveled the Andover network. At Harvard, Torbert Macdonald listened sadly to the tales of his old friend, whose politics were as out of sync with the times as his fraternity carousing. “Poor Georgie,” said Macdonald. “He couldn’t even relate to women unless he was loaded . . . There were just too many stories of him turning up dead drunk on dates.” [Close quote.]


THE SAD CENTER OF GEORGE BUSH’S FINGER: A BALANCED APPRAISAL

From THE FAMILY (pp. 266-267):

“’Hell, it’s not George’s substance abuse that bothers me as much as his lack of substance,’ said Tom Wilmer (Yale 1965 and Delta Kai Epsilon). That he coasted on his family name is understandable. Lots of guys do that. But, Georgie, as we called him then, has absolutely no intellectual curiosity about anything. He wasn’t interested in ideas, books or causes. He didn’t travel; he didn’t read newspapers; he didn’t watch news; he didn’t even go to the movies.... How anyone got out of Yale without developing some interest in the world besides booze and sports stuns me. This guy has no concept of complex issues.... He’s a simple-minded zealot and—God help us—he’s now the guy with his finger on the button.’”
