The Bushie's Kingdom goes WAY back before the 70s. Way, way, way
back. And not a one of them is from Texas, but the monkey tree in the
oval has what Mollie Ivans (Rest in Peace) called; Bushisms. I call
it dumb Texasism.


Goodbye, Mollie - we will miss the hell out of you. Best proof that
there is no God: Mollie is taken and Rove abides.

slate.com has a regular feature by Jacob Weisberg called "Bushisms
of the Day (or Week).

Here's a sample:

"I'm a strong proponent of the restoration of the wetlands, for a lot
of reasons. There's a practical reason, though, when it comes to
hurricanes: The stronger the wetlands, the more likely the damage of
the hurricane."—Discussing post-Katrina wetland improvements, New
Orleans, March 1, 2007

It's "Through the Looking Glass" mentality, when a word isn't what it
says it means but what you say it mean. You know, Clean Air,No Child
left behind, Energy Task Force, War on Terror, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, that kind of stuff.


And there's also "Healthy Forests"! Clear-cutting; building roads at
taxpayer expense for logging companies...the usual.

Incidentally, some might not know that he stole "No Child Left Behind"
from Marion Wright Edelman's *legitimate* group of the same name.

Regardless of what you thought about him, Lenny Bruce had a very cogent
observation when he said,"The only time I get into trouble with the law
is when I use common sense". I'm sure the EPA was what Christie Whitman
said it was and not what food eating, air breathing, water drinking,
over worked American citizens wanted it to be.

Molly may be resting now but her spirit is still taking care of bidness.
