Gottesman, college dropout and former beau to Bush daughter, to begin in the fall

A 26-year-old college dropout who carries President Bush’s breath mints and makes him peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches will follow in his boss’s footsteps this fall when he enrolls at Harvard Business School (HBS).

Though it is rare for HBS—or any other professional or graduate school—to admit a student who does not have an undergraduate degree, admissions officers made an exception for Blake Gottesman, who for four years has served as special assistant and personal aide to Bush.

Gottesman, a Texas native who attended Claremont-McKenna College in California for one year, has long had ties to the Bush family. He dated the president’s daughter, Jenna Bush, nearly ten years ago when he attended St. Andrew’s Episcopal School of Austin.

In his current role, Gottesman performs a wide range of duties, from dog-sitting the president’s Scottish terriers, Barney and Miss Beazley, to carrying the president’s speeches and giving him the “two-minute warning” before a speech begins.

1. Did Gottesman prep at Grottlesex?

He sounds like a Grottlesexian.

Always remember, pretend cowbody George AWOL Bush is not a Texan, but in reality is a Connecticut preppy cheerleader, member of the Skull & Boner bad boy secret club.

Following in his master's footsteps.

5. absurd

bang the slut for a year and lick the toes of the turd for a few years and you get admitted to the elitist insider club.

Class warfare is a bitch.

6. I assume Bush pays him out of his own pocket for..

baby sitting the dogs. I think they're grooming this guy to be Jenna's husband and have him take a run at the presidency in the future so Jenna can be First Lady.

7. What a horror but not surprising! This entire administration went to the

DOGS!
