54. Have you ever met W?

I haven't, nor do I have any desire to. He was one of the worst presidents in history. We all, myself included, denounced him as an idiot. We will continue to suffer from his tomfoolery for a long time to come. He was a fountian of poor judgment and bad public policy. But he put on a helluva show. And he accomplished exactly what the 1% wanted. A bad president? Without a doubt. A bad politician? Hardly. Even with "gentleman's C's" a Harvard MBA is nothing to sneeze at. That whole Texas act was just that - an act. And it worked. And Hank is just as big a jerk. And he puts on just ad good a show.

Never underestimate them.
