I wonder if the (NY) POST considers Dallas "podunk country?"
It's too bad Bush isn't a Kennedy because then, even if he screws up, like driving a car into a pond and abandoning his passenger to her death and letting family "friends" cover up for him, he would still have legions of, er, friends and butt-kissers eager to do his bidding. Plus he wouldn't have to say I'm sorry, just as Ted Kennedy, to my knowledge has ever said he was sorry for killing the Kopeckne girl. And he remains unindicted and is the 'lion of the Senate.' Of course Bush is apparently incapable of saying he's sorry about anything, or even has second-thoughts.
I remain mystified by the depth of hatred felt by Bush haters and it is not political distaste it is full bore hatred that has blinded them and warps them as all hatred does.
Bush is in his exile while Kennedy still enjoys the limelight even if he is dying. Of course we know the family will tear itself apart over who gets to be the head of the family after he dies.

MY REPLY:
You keep repeating that the hatred of Shrub is so much more than for anybody else, now bringing Teddy K. into it.
And ------I------repeat that NOTHING "said" about Shrub compares to the ACTIONS of never-ending "investigations" and impeachment that the CLINTONs faced. As for the KENNEDYs, I was never that enthralled. In fact, I'm not a hero-worshipper much. I'm a non-follower follower. I regard submission to other humans to be idolatry. And NIETZSCHE said that he couldn't have any followers because his philosophy was each individual uncovering his own destiny. I thought I hero-worshipped Woodrow WILSON when I was young, but now am told he was a racist colonialist. I was about 13 when my sister came home from (collage), all excited about JFK. I was for LBJ.
Perhaps, the KENNEDYs get "forgiven" because they have other things BESIDES their screw-ups, like, policies of humanitarianism, while Shrub, as you say, is INCAPABLE of any insight or unselfish impetus. Surely, you don't imply that Shrub and Poppy never used their privilege to get away with stuff: Poppy had affairs (Jennifer FITZGERALD), Shrub got the Natl Guard, plus abortions, plus cocaine; Jeb cashed in with Medicare scams; Neil and all of the others cashed in with all sorts of government connections. Not to mention the uncles, cousins, and what-nots.
And about your other message, about how you don't see the opposition to OBAMA being race based--uh, really, it's NOTHING ELSE, since he has NOT fulfilled his commitments to the Left, has appointed Rethugs and Wall Streeters. If you could see how DISAPPOINTED the Leftists on the Dem discussion board are with him, you'd be surprised. Rethugs can't hate him for his policies; it MUST be for his race. He was the POST Race man, yet he has unified all the factions of you opponents by RACE. He keeps trying to WORK WITH the congressional Rethugs, yet they GIVE HIM NOTHING to negotiate with.
Now YOU explain: How come the Rethugs NEVER GIVE AN INCH? Why did Shrub lose elections yet ruled as though he had a MANDATE? Why does OBAMA actually win and govern in back-up mode?
As for the Post, you know it is owned by Rupert MURDOCH, News Corp, Faux News. The columnist here is the gossip queen Cindy ADAMS. You know that gossip is a big deal in New York. Ms ADAMS speaks for the NY cocktail circuit, not necessarily the Post's Australians, who themselves are regarded as "podunk."
