Up-From-The-Bootstraps George

More than a few lefty bloggers are jumping on Bush for this nugget:

Bush “likes somebody he sees as having overcome potential disadvantages, because he sees himself as having done that,” says Paul Burka, executive editor of Texas Monthly magazine and a close follower of the president.

Now at first glance, this view of himself might seem a bit strange--completely fucking ridiculous, if you will: afterall, he was born into extreme wealth, his family name is second only to a certain Kennedy family, has winning smile, etc.

But really, he's right. Who'd have ever thought an alcoholic, coke-snortin' felon with an IQ under 85 could ever become President of these fine United States?

Truly an American hero, that King George of ours.
