1. May GWBush suffer the consequences of his malign behavior

re the years of his mud-slinging, lies, and sundry other deceptions -- including attempts to sully the people of Massachusetts when most of us already know:

George Herbert Walker Bush (GWBush's daddy) was born in . . .
Milton, Massachusetts. And, get this -- Mommy Barbara and Daddy Bush met at Phillips Andover Academy, Andover, Massachusetts (http://www.andover.edu/about_andover/notable_alums.htm) while Daddy Bush was a student at the elite prep school. Mommy went to but didn't graduate from Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts.

Mommy Barbara Pierce Bush has extensive family ties to Massachusetts to this day. In addition, the Pierce side of the family goes back to New Hampshire's own U.S. President Franklin Pierce. Several colleges in NH bear that family name.

Much of the Ellis family remains here in Massachusetts too. That's John Ellis Bush ("JEB" Bush). And, oh, yeah, John Ellis (who is Dumbya's first paternal cousin) lives here in Massachusetts; it was this John Ellis that was hired by Roger Ailies of Fox News who helped make the decision to finally (and erroneously) call Florida for GWBush on election night. The call, the first by any network, created the false impression that GWBush had won the general election in 2000.

GWBush resided in Cambridge, Massachusetts while attending Harvard Business School. GWBush resided in Andover, Massachusetts while rooming and boarding at Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts. It has been reported that GWBush was obligated to report to the Massachusetts National Guard to complete his duty but failed to do so.

Get the picture? Bush has extensive family ties to Massachusetts but uses Massachusetts' progressive politics for his own political polarized extremist end; that is, to demonize Massachusetts as if Satanic. Why be surprised? GWBush is known for mud-slinging. Mud-slinging is how the Bushs' win elections -- from pitching mud at Mike Dukakis, slinging lies at Ann Richards, dumping on McCain's military record, to now flinging lies at John Kerry w/ a Massachusetts tag to complete the erroneous picture re Dukakis.

Oh, yeah, Andrew Card (GWBush's Chief of Staff) is from Massachusetts; Card was a GOP Massachusetts state representative from Holbrook for years.

(also, note my sig line re John Ellis)

2. I remember Andy Card when he was a rep here in Mass.

When I was in journalism school, I covered the State House, and he was a rep at the time. That was 24 years ago and of course I don't remember all the congresspeople from back then, but I do remember him; don't remember details, but I do remember that I couldn't stand him.
