"How in the name of all the saints did George W Bush, wastrel drunkard son of an East Coast patrician family, find his way to Pennsylvania Avenue by playing the genial good ol' boy from the South, and why in heaven's name did he want it anyway? And answers come there none."

1. My favorite part of Fahrenheit 9/11 is when Bush is interviewed when

he was working on his dads campaign. He comes off as exactly what he is. A smart alec, fast talking, eastern preppie boy type.
Absolutely couldn't be any different from the good ol' boy image he tried to fake in later years. Too bad the country is full of gullible half-wits that fell for the down home accent and phony oil man bit.
