What a short memory the public has, Bush senior was also thoroughly useless as a president and clearly not the sharpest knife in the box. Billionaire oil men, the Bush family buys presidencies and get this; George senior (Read my lips, no new taxes) has said Jeb Bush will make…

Cleo: Not my experience at all ... Some women very much want the 'hafuu' child and although it may be offered as a compliment, as you say, there are plenty who really do see children as tkoind2 calls it. He's right on the nail in fact. But you're also right…
