Buzzflash kicks Bu$h Butt! Excellent piece!

America Used to Pride Itself on Championing Success. Now the Busheviks Cheer on Failure and Smear Patriots Who Would Make America More Secure.

Time after time the man failed until friends of his father bailed him out. It happened with his failure to serve in Vietnam, his missing months of non-service in the National Guard, his alleged drug conviction, his failure at oil drilling, his failure at everything he touched. This was a guy who was asked to leave the Carlyle Board -- the incestuous money mill for Bush Dynasty loyalists -- because he didn't have anything to offer. (snip ..)

But before the pitch man with the golden shiv for character assassination teamed up with the ne'er do well son of a declining WASPish East Coast dynasty that had decided to put on cowboy boots, Bush was always being pulled out of the frying pan and the messes he created by Daddy's friends. The only exception was his money-making stint with the Texas Rangers, where he was essentially "used" for his name in return for a "favored son" financial share in the team. And the value of his stock soared due to he and his partners using eminent domain to steal real estate from surrounding citizens, which then inflated the value of the franchise. (snip ..)

Others are left, as usual, to clean up the rich, frat boy's mess. But he outdid himself this time, and the powers that be don't know quite what to do.

We do: indict, convict and imprison the ringleaders of the Bush Administration and don't let another soldier or Iraqi die for "Baby Doc" Bush's latest personal failure. (my bold emphasis)

Man, if that doesn't sum up this whole sorry mess, nothing does. From the drugs and AWOL to Bu$hboy getting fired from the Carlyle Group board (I had forgotten about that!). BUZZFLASH kicks ass again!

3. yeah! What kind of screwup gets booted off the Carlyle board?

Good point, Mac.

And it's kind of ironic that Bush was always dismissive of "East Coast elites", of the type represented by his own family background -- and loves to pretend that he's a self-made man -- but in the end, his name (or rather, that of his dad/granddad) was the only thing that he could capitalize on.
