Former President George Herbert Walker Bush today endorsed Senator John McCain of Arizona for the Republican presidential nomination. Although I didn't support the elder Bush in either of his elections (unlike some...(wink, wink...careful Lar, don't spit your soda all over your work keyboard), I used to think of him as one of the more respectable members of the Republican Party; an elder statesman who would go down in history as a decent but lackluster president.
But over the last seven years he has done nothing (NOTHING) to reign in his son. The Bush Boy has turned this country on its ear; and although several members of the father's administration called the current president on his shit, the father, as far as we can tell, hasn't.
And therein lays the entire problem. A cursory look at W's college and early adult years shows some parenting skills on the part of George I and Barbara that are seriously lacking; and that unwillingness to have any sort of come to Jesus talk with the boy have resulted in a serious mess for America and the globe.
Perhaps I am being unfair, but the fact that this imbecile was able to squeeze his way into the White House on the back of his father's failed one term is unfair on whole different level.
As such, the endorsement of McCain, who has become the Bush family bitch, isn't worth the paper the former president's notes were written on.
