OT - For Jurropi1 - Here's the clip...

[Brent]

Here's the clip of President Dubya trying to explain what "Sovereignty" means:

[a href=http://www.canofun.com/blog/videos/BushUnityConfSovereignty.wmv]Bush attempts to explain "Sovereignty"...[/a]

It's disgraceful, shameful, and embarassing that this man is the leader of the most powerful nation on Earth. Most 6th graders could provide a better explanation.

Do I think Kerry is any better? No I do not.  He's scum too. They're both scum, but I doubt Kerry could plunder this country and gut the Constitution as efficiently and as thoroughly as its been done under the Bush regime.

[MYSONSDAD]

This is what I call 'Geekeninity'

What a joke. A leader to be proud of....RIGHT!

[jurroppi1]

I agree, Pres Bush looks like an idiot, and says many idiotic thinks, not unlike Kerry - who sticks his foot squarely in it every time he turns around. Do I believe most of the canards that are on the "resume" you posted? No, hell no I don't! If you remember I was caught up in all the layoff that occurred, and if you also remember right, they were largely due to two main things - Clinton's left over terrible fiscal policies that had already started a huge downward spiral into what we saw as rivaling the great depression, and the 9/11 attacks. I don't for one minute blame bush for the piss poor economy that lost me my job, all my 401K money, and damn near bankrupted me. That was the doing of Clinton's "legacy", and terrorists that hit an already weak market right where it hurt (the public's trust). Frankly I think there are no politicans that don't have some dirty laundry lying around somewhere, I'm just not willing to be ruled by a socialist like Kerry who engenders hatred of America by our enemies, enemies who are in no uncertain terms against freedom.

You're right, we'll have to agree to disagree. This is especially true since I'm unwilling to expend anymore energy on this topic.

>Do I believe most of the canards

You're free to disbelive whatever you want, it doesn't change the fact that most if not all of them are true.



>Frankly I think there are no politicans that
>don't have some dirty laundry lying around somewhere,

You'll get no argument from me on this point. Like I said, they're all scum. I'm sure I'll be bitching about what a rottem sleazebag Kerry is in a year, assuming he's elected. Again, don't think for a moment that I endorse any of the candidates. I don't.  I'm just trying to pick the lesser of two evils.



>I'm just not willing to be ruled by a socialist like Kerry who
>engenders hatred of America by our enemies, enemies who are in
>no uncertain terms against freedom.

I understand. You'd rather be ruled by a fascist like Bush who engenders hatred of America by our enemies, enemies who are in no uncertain terms against freedom.  ;)


>You're right, we'll have to agree to disagree. This is
>especially true since I'm unwilling to expend anymore energy
>on this topic.

That's okay with me. I respect your opinion, although I disagree.

[willskitten]

This was not a political discussion forum.  We are all supposed to be on the same team remember?

[jurroppi1]

I had to respond to this, but I'll let Joe do the talking for me since I'm tired of expending energy arguing pointless canards brought up by people in the hate bush camp...

'Bush's Resume': Answering The Democrat Attack Machine

April 3, 2004
by Joe Mariani

A lengthy anti-Bush attack email is apparently making the rounds, titled "Bush's Resume." It contains a string of lies, innuendo and half-truths so numerous as to be difficult to answer, due mainly to the sheer number of them (standard Liberal "Blitzkreig" technique). I've received this garbage in my various inboxes several times in the last month, and thought I'd devote some time to an answer. Some of these attacks have been answered by me before, and some answers have been suggested by friends.

RESUME

GEORGE W. BUSH
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20520

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

Law Enforcement:
I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available.

George Bush did get a DUI at the age of 30. And he paid the penalty that went along with it -- which in Maine, in 1976, was a 30 day suspended license. Looks like he "did the time for the crime", unlike people such as Ted Kennedy, who escaped prosecution for drunken driving and manslaughter by using family connections. Also unlike Ted Kennedy, President Bush no longer touches alcohol.

Military:
I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam.

President Bush was never AWOL from the National Guard. This is an unsubstantiated rumor that has been presented as fact by his detractors. He missed some meetings but made up the time. His records have been made public in full. He recieved his Honorable Discharge after completing the necessary time and then some. The unit he volunteered to join was partly deployed in Vietnam at the time. He even volunteered to fly in Vietnam himself, but the program was winding down at that time and he didn't have enough experience. He never refused a drug test; he simply skipped a physical at a time when he wasn't flying anyway. A lot of Vietnam veterans wonder, however, how Kerry managed to rack up a Bronze Star, a Silver Star, and three Purple Hearts in only four months... without missing a day of duty from the wounds. Those records, unlike President Bush's, have never been made public.

College:
I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. I was a cheerleader.

Graduating from Yale at all is impressive. President Bush went on to graduate from Harvard TOO. How many have done that? Also, Bush scored 1206 on his SATs -- but got better grades than Al Gore. (Average SAT score is about 1000.)

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:

I ran for US Congress and lost. I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas, in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock.

Abraham Lincoln also lost the first time he ran for the legislature, plus he lost to Stephen Douglas when running for the Senate, so this is a rather weak attack. The company, Arbusto, did not go bankrupt; it was purchased by Spectrum 7 Energy Corporation.

I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money.

George Bush put together a GROUP to purchase the Rangers, the same way most teams in baseball have a group of investors. He was only a managing partner. Most cities own the stadiums and the land that go with them. The city is the one that used eminent domain and "took" the land.

With the help of my father and our friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor of Texas.

If that's some sort of drive-by charge of voter fraud, it's a rather weak and unsubstantiated one. Name a candidate for any office that hasn't accepted campaign contributions.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS:

I changed Texas pollution laws to favour power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union. During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America.

Texas is not the most polluted state in the Union. According to the American Lung Association's State of the Air 2001 report, California still led the charts . In Texas, the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria area ranked as the fifth most-polluted metropolitan area. Both Laredo, TX and Brownsville-Harlingen-San Benito, TX, however, made the list of the 20 metropolitan areas with the least ozone air pollution. The American Lung Association State of the Air 2003 Report states that 6 of the top 10 most polluted areas are in California and only 1 is in Texas. Of the top 25 only 2 are in Texas.

I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money.

Texas is not bankrupt and has actually seen a growth in the state income. In 1995 during his first year as governor Texas had total revenue of $38.68 Billion. In 2000 Texas state revenue was $49.84 billion... a 28% increase in a 5 year time frame. Each year the revenue to the State increased. This is an average increase of 5.2% per year. As always, a tax cut will increase revenue to the taxing authority by increasing the tax base through expansion.

I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history.

George Bush followed the law by signing execution orders for death row prisoners. These were prisoners who were convicted by a jury and exhausted all appeals. They were sentenced to death for cold blood murders and rapes.

With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida, and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.

Jeb Bush had nothing to do with the recount in Florida. Florida State Law dictates the procedure to have a recount. George H. Bush only nominated 2 Supreme Court Justices. There are 9 total Supreme Court Justices. All Supreme Court Justices must be approved by Congress. No President simply "appoints" someone to the Supreme Court. Every recount -- even the ones done by the news services after the Supreme court finally stopped the endless parade of official recounts -- showed that [A HREF=http://republican_strat.tripod.com/GoreLostFlorida/index.html" Target="new]BUSH DEFEATED GORE[/A], even when the military votes were thrown out (as the Democrats tried to do). The United States of America has an Electoral College for electing the President of the United States. The total popular vote does not matter. That is in our Constitution, to prevent hiughly-populated areas from dominating the rest of the country.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:

I am the first President in US history to enter office with a criminal record.

George Bush was convicted of a DUI. That hardly constitutes a "criminal record" as stated. This is another misleading attack on Bush.

I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.

The United States of American went to Afghanistan to defeat an Enemy that attacked the United States of America. Remember 9/11? Saddam Hussein was a mass murder who had killed over 2 million people and used WMD to kill 100,000 Kurds. For 12 years he had violated the cease-fire agreement he signed with the US in 1991, which obligated us to enforce it. His forces continually attacked US planes patrolling the no-fly zones. Saddam openly supported Hamas suicide bombers and had ties to al-Qaeda going back to their formation, including being behind the 1993 WTC bombing. Iraq is a better place today and the U.S. is more secure by removing the corrupt leader of Iraq that admitted to developing and keeping WMDs. The UN sanctioned Iraq and after 4 years of non compliance the U.S. acted according to the cease-fire agreement Saddam signed after the Gulf War -- resumption of hostilities if Iraq did not comply with the UN. The cost of a billion dollars per week is the cost we would have spent for the military whether or not they are in Iraq. There is not an additional billion dollars per week being spent.

I spent the US surplus and effectively bankrupted the US Treasury.

There never was a US surplus. The tax cuts did not reduce the incoming revenues to the Federal government. In 2001 the revenue to the Federal government increased by $32 billion. That was after the Bush tax cut. The tax cut was retroactive to the 1st of the year. This is a 1.52% increase in revenue. The US is far from being bankrupt.

I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in US history.

The Congress approves all budgets. The fact that the Congress spends more than what comes in is not quite the President's fault. Checks and balances, remember? The deficit is only a small percentage of the Gross Domestic Product, smaller percentage-wise than the deficit run by Ronald Reagan.

I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period. I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.

The record 12 month period is for 2001 with most taking place in the first 6 months. Bush took office in January of 2001. The recession began in November 2000. The damage to people filing bankruptcy in this period was done prior to President Bush taking office. You don't file bankruptcy unless you have been in trouble for some time. Bush was in office when they filed but it was under Clinton that they amassed the debt.

I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the US stock market.

The U.S. economy was in a decline in the last 6 months of 2000, before Bush was elected. The drop in the stock market was worsened by a terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Again, remember 9/11? The stock market has recovered to early 2001 levels and has increased 55% in the past year and is up 8% from December 2003 to February 2004.

In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month.

The 2 million is not an accurate number. There were job losses during 2001. Most of these were do to an economy that was slowing down before Bush took office, and over a million jobs alone were lost as a direct result of 9/11. The job loss rate is not worsening every month; jobs are increasing every month. We are coming out of a recession and the projection continue to show an improving economy. Also, the low figures are only found in the Payroll Survey, which only records jobs at large and/or established companies. The Household Survey, which records farm jobs, small companies, new companies and the self-employed, shows a net increase of 700,000 jobs as of January 2004. In the month of March 2004 alone, 308,000 new jobs were created. The economy is beginning a boom cycle that will last for years.

I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in US history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.

Actually, President Clinton had the "wealthiest" cabinet in U.S. history. The tanker was built in 1993 and it is Chevron's practice to name tankers after members of the board of directors which Condoleezza Rice was from 1991 until 2001. The tanker was named for her long before she became National Security Advisor.

I set the record for most campaign fundraising trips by a US President.

This is simply not true. Actually Clinton did the most fund raising both away from and at the White House. Remember the stays in the Lincoln Bedroom for donations? Morning coffees?

I am the all-time US and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations.

Corporations donate, on average, 42% to the Democrats and 57% to the Republicans. If the President is the record holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations remember that the Democrats have also set a new record for receiving corporate campaign donations.

Unions, on the other hand, have donated $474 million to political parties since 1990. Of that, 93% has gone to the Democrats and 6% to the Republicans. That means that on average Unions donate $33.9 million per year to the Democrats and $2.56 million to the Republicans. Lawyers & lobbyists have donated 69% to the Democrats and 31% to the Republicans. I think that's where your bias is.

And why do corporations prefer Republicans? Because Republicans generally create a more business-friendly environment, while Democrats are more business-hostile. And in a capitalist society, guess which is better for the country?

My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in US history, Enron. My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the US Supreme Court during my election decision. I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history.

Enron officials are being tried by the courts now. Enron's accounting practices were a result of legislation passed by the former Clinton Administration. Bush actually proposed the legislation that changed the laws to prevent that from happening again. Let's not forget that the massive corporate scandals that have been uncovered during the Bush Administration actually took place during the 90's... during the Clinton administration. The bit about the Supreme Court is just more unsubstantiated drive-by mudslinging.

I presided over the biggest energy crisis in US history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed.

Bush did preside over the largest energy crisis due to the former administration not having a competent energy policy and doing nothing to promote electrical generation or transmission. He did not intervene because the courts handle that situation. That is the law.

I presided over the highest gasoline prices in US history.

Gasoline prices are the highest they have ever been... but so are U.S. wages. When Clinton was President he too presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history. The US is a country that runs on capitalism: Supply and Demand. If the Demand for gas goes up so does the price. The demand for gasoline has never been higher. Americans love to drive and so the demand is high. Also contributing to the high gas prices are the taxes added by the states to each gallon of gas. There is a 18.4 cent Federal tax on each gallon of gas and in Pennsylvania an additional 25.9 cent tax per gallon. That's 44.3 cents per gallon, or 37% tax on a gallon of gas that costs $1.62.

I changed the US policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts.

This is simply untrue. US law does not allow a person convicted of a felony to obtain a US contract. Bush did not and can not change this without an Act of Congress.

I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any President in US history.

No administration officials are felons. This is also a matter of law.

I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government.

After the failings of the bureaucracy of the CIA and FBI leading to 9/11, President Bush created the Department of Homeland Security to protect the US by allowing agencies to work better together. Congress has the ultimate goal of approving the formation of a new cabinet position and did so overwhelmingly. Also, the use of the word "Ministry" betrays the foreign source of this attack email... we don't HAVE Ministries here.

I've broken more international treaties than any President in US history.

President Bush has not broken any treaties. A treaty must be approved by the US Congress. Enforcement of a treaty is also the responsibility of Congress. If Bush does break a treaty it would have to be with the consent of Congress. The ABM Treaties were signed with the USSR, which is no longer in existence. Bush also has not agreed to new treaties such as the Kyoto protocols, which have more stringent rules for the US and other industrial countries than for Third World countries. Russia also refused to ratify the Kyoto protocols, which would nearly cripple industry in both countries.

I am the first President in US history to have the United Nations remove the US from the Human Rights Commission.

Simple proof, in fact, that the UN has become nothing more than a forum for attacking America. The United States was not a member of the Human Rights Commission for 2002 only. The Human Rights Commission has members such as China, Libya and Uganda. The latter has been condemned by the Human Rights Commission for a February 21, 2004 massacre of 190 people, and Libya was put in charge of the Human Rights Commission. China is also a persistent violator of basic human rights.

I withdrew the US from the World Court of Law.

The US was never part of the World Court. The World Court of Law would have superceded your Constitutional Rights. The Bill of Rights would no longer have any meaning, nor would your status as an American citizen. Joining the World Court would violate the Constitution. If you want the World Court of Law, move out of America.

I refused to allow inspector's access to US "prisoners of war" detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.

The Geneva Convention was followed and inspectors were allowed to see the detainees at Guantanomo Bay. They technically were not subject to the rules of the Geneva Convention because they were not "Prisoners of War", not having fought under the flag of a country.

I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 US election).

This is the United States of America. Our election laws are policed by our people and our courts, not the U.N. The U.N. has no authority here.

I set the record for fewest numbers of press conferences of any President since the advent of television.

That is simply not true. Plenty of press conferences were scheduled, but not for the President, who had his press secretary keep the public informed. How does the President not being on television more hurt the country in any way?

I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period.

This is not true. While away from the White House any President does not get away from the work. With briefings and other meetings, and using modern technology any President will work at least 3-4 hours a day and is in touch 24/7 while on "vacation". Remember the job of President is 24/7.

After taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst security failure in US history.

The use of the word "presided" is key here. George Bush was in office less than 8 months at the time of the attacks of 9/11. All the failures in the intelligence community have been found to date back to the early 90's. President Clinton is the one who failed by not only cutting the U.S. intelligence gathering capabilities, but also not allowing the FBI, CIA and NSA to share information. Prior to 9/11, Clinton presided over the worst domestic terrorist attack at Oklahoma City.

I garnered the most sympathy for the US after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the US the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.

Most of that "sympathy" was obviously false -- real allies don't work against you when you need them. The United States does not allow anyone other than the United States to be in charge of the security of its people. If France, Germany and Russia don't like it... tough. Remember that China, Russia and France were the ones with the big oil exploration, oil equipment and military equipment supply contracts with Iraq. No amount of "diplomacy" would have gotten them on our side. Our strong stance on foreign policy caused countries like Libya to fully halt and disclose their WMD programs, and Iran to be willing to work with UN inspectors. It also brought North Korea to the table for multilateral talks.

I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protests against any person in the history of mankind.

The 15 million people is an exaggeration These numbers were from the "organizers" -- that is, International A.N.S.W.E.R., which is funded and run by the World Workers Party... formerly the World Communist Party. The official count is substantially less by an order of magnitude. We are the United States of America... not the United States of the Mobs of the World.

I am the first President in US history to order an unprovoked pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of US citizens, and the world community.

The U.N under Resolution 1441 dated November 8, 2002 and approved unanimously by the security council, gave Iraq 30 days to comply with previous resolution to disclose all information of and all inspection of any and all facilities that may possibly be used in the production or distribution of WMDs. Failure to do so would constitute a breach of 1441, and by extension, all the resolutions going back to the original cease-fire, resolution 687. They did not comply. We made them. U.S. citizens supported the use of force in Iraq . A Washington Post Poll in December of 2002 show that U.S. Citizens were in favor 62% to 35%. A January 2003 Fox Poll showed us in favor 67% to 25%. A CNN-Time Poll of the same time showed 60% in favor 33% against. The numbers showed that the American people were 2-1 in favor of the use of force in Iraq. As far as the rest of the world: we are Americans and will act in the best interest of America first.

I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families - in wartime.

This is a false statement. In fact, in Bush's first three years in office, funding for the Veterans Administration increased by a full 27%. If Bush's 2005 budget is approved, funding for his full four-year term will amount to an increase of 37.6%. Duty benefits were not cut.

In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq and then blamed the lies on our British friends.

Bush never lied. The British Intelligence Agencies, the CIA, The Senate Intelligence Committee (which John Edwards and Dianne Feinstein are members), The UN and the NSA all reached the same conclusion: Iraq has WMDs. Iraq admitted having most of what the UN stated they had, but refused to turn it over or prove it had been destroyed. Bush never "blamed" the British. He stated that they came to the same conclusion. He quoted a British report in the 2003 State of the Union Address, and rightfully gave the source.

I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security.

71% of people that were at a protest in Europe against the Iraq war had that view; that's where the number came from. That's like asking the people at a salad bar if they like beef.

I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," a WMD.

The Tactical Bunker Buster is not classified as a WMD. Critics of nuclear weapons made the charge.

I have so far failed to fulfil my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden to justice.

We're still looking, though the hunt had to slow down over the winter. We'll find him. Hopefully alive like Saddam Hussein so he can be tried for his crimes. Bin Laden had over a decade to set up safe hidey-holes, caches and supporters worldwide, since the Clinton administration never tried to stop him, even after the first WTC bombing ('93) and more al-Qaeda attacks on Khobar towers ('96), Tanzania and Kenya embassies ('98), and the USS Cole ('00).

RECORDS AND REFERENCES:

All records of my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed and unavailable for public view.

The records are sealed by Texas state law passed before Bush was Governor.

All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.

Again, Bush did not seal his records. The law did. Remember that Bill Clinton never unsealed his records and this was never an issue with the left.

All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President, attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review.

This obviously refers to the "charge" that a map of Iraq was seen at a meeting of the Cheney Energy Commission. They looked at information available in the public domain about the world's oil supply? What is the Energy commission supposed to look at, locations of Spanish gold mines? Alien spacecraft landings?

PLEASE CONSIDER MY EXPERIENCE WHEN VOTING IN 2004.

Oh, yes, I hope everyone does. And I hope they consider John Kerry's record too... but that's another email.

Joe Mariani

I am truly done with this!

[Brent]

Enjoy.........  :)

JOB APPLICATION

NAME: John Kerry

RESIDENCE: 7 mansions, including Washington DC, worth multi-millions.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

Law Enforcement. I voted to cut every law enforcement, CIA and
defense bill in my career as a US Senator.  I ordered Boston to
remove a fire hydrant in front of my mansion, thereby endangering my
neighbors in the event of fire.

MILITARY:

I used three minor injuries to get an early discharge from
the military and service in Vietnam (as documented by the attending
doctor).  I then returned to the US, joined Jane Fonda in protesting
the war, and insulted returning Vietnam vets, claiming they committed
atrocities and were baby killers.  I threw my medals, ribbons, or
something away in protest.  Or did I?  My book; Vietnam Veterans
Against the War: The New Soldier shows how I truly feel about the
military.

COLLEGE:

I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. Unlike my
counterpart George Bush, I have no higher education and did not get
admitted to Harvard nor graduate with an M.B.A

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:

I ran for U.S.  Congress and have been there ever since.  I have no
real world experience except marrying rich women and running HJ Heinz
vicariously through my wife Teresa.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

As a US Senator I set the record for the most liberal voting record,
exceeding even Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton.  I have consistently
failed to support our military and CIA by voting against budgets,
thus gutting our country's ability to defend itself.  Although I
voted for the Iraq War, now I am against it and refuse to admit that
I voted for it.  I voted for every liberal piece of legislation.  I
have no plan to help this country but I intend to raise taxes
significantly if I am elected.

My wealth so far exceeds that of my counterpart, George Bush, that he
will never catch up.  I make no or little charitable contributions
and have never agreed to pay any voluntary excess taxes in MA,
despite family wealth in excess of $ 700 million.

I (we) own 28 manufacturing plants (Heinz) outside of the U.S. in
places like Asia, Mexico and Europe. We can make more profit from the
cheaper cost of labor in those Countries, although I Blame George
Bush for sending all of the jobs out of Country.

Although I claim to be in favor of alternative energy sources, Ted
Kennedy and I oppose windmills off Nantucketand Martha's Vineyard as
it might spoil our view of the ocean as we cruise on our yachts.

RECORDS AND REFERENCES:

None.

PERSONAL

I ride a Serotta Bike.

My Gulfstream V Jet I call The Flying Squirrel.

I call my $850,000 42-foot Hinckleytwin diesel yacht the "Scarmouche".

I am fascinated by rap and hip-hop and feel it reflects our real culture.

I own several "Large" SUVs including one parked at my Nantucket
summer mansion, though I am against large polluting inefficient
vehicles and blame George Bush for the energy problems.

PLEASE CONSIDER MY EXPERIENCE WHEN VOTING IN 2004.

[motivator]

LOL that clip does make President Bush less then impressive.  However, you can take clips from EVERY president and make them look stupid.  
I think President Bush is BY FAR the best of the two men for the job but the clip was still very entertaining. :)
