Ummmm, there was another president in office for 8 years between 1992-2000, you know. You can’t blame Dubya for everything. Big Al’s easy money ride was in full swing during the 90s — he just had to turn up the speed a bit since 2001 to keep us all from noticing that it was no longer attached to the ground.
It is fascinating to see the names in those clippings, though! These people are like the undead, they never go away. Remember when Kissinger crawled out of his coffin to advise Bush on the middle east last year? Just imagine if Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton gets the white house in 2008 and serves another 8 years. Then Chelsea or Jenna will be old enough to ascend to the throne. I sure am glad we kicked out the British so we could get rid of dynastic rule.
