Check out the Dean vs. Bush (left hand side)

you'll have to trust me that this is mentioned in the actual copy we got at home. Time was pointing out that both of them came from the elite uppercrust of New England. Not that this is a slam on Dean, at least he hasn't made up a life and history for himself.

Gee don't you think the press could have pointed out W's real story before the LAST election and not repeatedly printed pictures of him in a cowboy hat driving around his 'made-for-campaigning' ranch home?

1. Bush's nose was a bridesmaid for cocaine

Good point Underpants, they never dig too far back into the Bush's past...

2. Bush: grandfather was a partner to Hitler. why did they leave that

out?

7. Hel if they are going to be selling his story FOR him

I wouldn't think they would have told that story..........that didn't see the light of day did it? Or Palast's "voter purge" story that broke 6 weeks before the election, at least no in the US.

3. And the best man was Kevin Bacon's great-grandfather?

Or was that the florist?

That old saying, "Birds of a feather flock together" - I wonder how applicable this may be in this situation!

6. Dean took a shot at being a stock broker and secretly took premed classes

see he wanted ot be a Doctor. W of course chose to be a horrible businessman and take peoples' money.

ON EDIT-Add that Dean called the market "the path of least resistance" as it was the family business.

5. Too bad there weren't categories for failed businesses,

arrest records, insider training investigations, Saudi friends...oh, but then I guess there wouldn't be anything to put in the Dean column...
