20 January 2007
Jan. 20, 2001 - George W Bush is sworn in as President of the United States.
Jun 18th, 1993 - Violet Hopkins confides to me, during the slow dance I've been nervously vying for all day on this final day of middle school, that she thinks Toby Green likes her.
This is a painful, thanks-for-reminding-me memories thread, right?
Just saw Hilary doing her folksey, "let's have a conversation" routine, much as I admire the woman I just don't see that working.
You can see Bill's coaching but she's just such a different person....
Jan. 20, 2009 - Jeb Bush is sworn in as President of the United States.
Ha. Of course, you know it was supposed to be Jeb? Even the family didn't think Dubya had it in him.
Now he's ruined the brand for a generation. George P. might have a shot. Heck, Barbara might have a shot.
Atrios and crowd are actually seriously thinking that no Republican can win unless he completely repudiates Bush. I don't know that I'd go that far, but I don't think McCain has the "mo" everybody thought he'd have. Watch the dark elephants.
Jeb is taller, better-looking, better-spoken, and smarter than G-Dub, but the Fredo of the family got to be president. Jeb must hate him with the heat of 1000 suns.
