What were Shrub's qualifications to run for gov of texas???

[radwriter0555]

I can't find any particular skills that were necessary....

[sangha]

1. No skills are necesary.

All you have to do is file an application

[Sandstorm]

2. His name

The governor of Texas doesn't do much anyway. The Lt. Governor is the real power-holder.

[DemoTex]

3. He had no skills for the job.

His life, to that point, had been a gimee. The Texas constitution intentionally made the position of governor relativly weak, so Bu$h was able to "grow" into the office. Bu$h did prove to be very efficient at signing death warrants (152, I believe).

4. He bankrupted several businesses and traded away Sammy Sosa

Apparently, that's considered 'qualifications' in Texas.

12. ...and to think

I still hear people fawn over how he "turned the Rangers around."

W-T-F?!?!? No one knew who that dingleberry was until he was elected Governor! "Turned the Rangers around" my pasty white butt!

Like most of Bush's resume of accomplishment in Texas, it's all hat, no cattle.

5. None

He didnt' even want the job. He held off Republican leaders for a year, waiting and hoping he'd be named Baseball Commissioner. If only Bud Selig had gotten out of the way, we wouldn't be stuck with the little rodent ruining the country.

[DemoTex]

7. He could have picked his nose to his hearts content behind the dugout ...

Oh, only if ... only if!

[rock]

6. Same as for his running for president

His father is George H. Bush.

[Dover]

8. Bob Bullock's endorsement............period.

Of course Rove was the strategist.

I wish someone would write about that whole thing and investigate what REALLY caused Big Democratic leader Bob Bullock's endorsement of a Republican idiot over the very popular Ann Richards (whom the GOP smeared mercilessly).

[Blue_Roses]

17. Bob Bullock didn't like Ann Richards

they were serious enemies.

[hatrack]

9. Lucky Sperm Club Membership n/t

.

[Clete]

10. I think he became Governor in Texas

the same way he became President with a lot of underhanded back stabbing. I used to visit Texas in the winter during Ann Richards term and I couldn't find anyone who didn't like her. I may be wrong but I was stunned when she lost to Bush.

14. Well the GOP has made it perfectly clear that they will apply ANY means

to an end. I think that's the only truthful thing they've ever uttered, and I for one take them at their word.

[robbedvoter]

13. Name recognition - freepers thought they'd get Poppy

and were flattered. True story.

[Dover]

15. One need only study California and the selection of Auuunold to

understand how the Rovian machine works. Village idiots are his specialty. He can make them stars.

16. Whoooooohooooo! The grand prize goes to....radwriter!

Finding a way to get shrub*s name, qualified(or version of) and governor in a sentence is quite a feat!
