Dubya in 'Bama – 'God's Gift to Women'

[kskiska]

WASHINGTON, D.C.—In Alabama, where George W. Bush supposedly was slaving away on Winton "Red" Blount's 1972 U.S. Senate campaign in lieu of National Guard duty, he is remembered by a Blount son as a smartass "cuntsman" from Texas.

Bush Junior, as he was then called, used to come into Blount's campaign office in Montgomery, prop his feet up on a desk, and blab on about how much he'd drunk the night before, according to a detailed article by New Orleans freelance journalist Glynn Wilson on his Progressive Southerner blog (southerner.net/blog/awolbush.html).

Blount's Belles, a group of young Republican women and Montgomery debutantes who were helping out on the campaign, would fall into a swoon at the sight of young George. "We thought he was to die for," said one. But the Blue Haired Platoon, a group of older women campaigning for Blount, referred to Junior as "the Texas soufflé" because he was "all puffed up and full of hot air."

Junior, though, was no such heavy hitter. "He was an attractive person, kind of a 'frat boy,' " Blount's son Tom, an architect, recalled, according to Wilson's article, "George W. Bush's Lost Year in 1972 Alabama." "I didn't like him."

According to Wilson, Tom Blount "remembers thinking to himself" the following: "This guy thinks he is such a cuntsman, God's gift to women. He was all duded up in his cowboy boots. It was sort of annoying seeing all these people who thought they were hot shit just because they were from Texas."

4. Tom Blount the son said he didn't like bush*, welcome to the club.

In fact I think bush is the most hated man on the planet, even hated more than saddam or bin laden. He can't walk down the street without his handlers being afraid someone will shoot him. Clinton used to stop the limo and go to the crowds and shake hands with the people, bush* can't because someone will break his arm. Says alot about bush* and what he's done to civility of America. That should be a typical campaign tactic of the Democratic nominee, just stop the limo and get out and shake hands with the people, unscripted as a contrast to that most coward george bush*.

campaign trail.

I just get so smart reading DU.
