Texas Monthly's got a sneak preview of its big Robert Draper piece about George W. Bush up on its site now. I love this part about how just after he was elected Texas governor, his advisers went in and cleaned...
I just saw a pic of the POTUS a few weeks ago, where he was wearing a pair of Crocs™ with shorts and black socks. It was an impeachable offense if I've ever seen one.

I thought this was one of those emperors without visible clothing, or would that be a wolfskin?

They also cleaned out his driving record - both he and the Mizzus got new driver's license numbers.
Must be nice to wipe away drunk driving and manslaughter.

Was anybody else imagining a kind of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" kind of thing there? :-)
God bless.

It seems painful to watch the efforts he went in his life to distance himself from all that privilege and those high expectations. All those years rejecting dad's values, only to spend his presidency trying to apologize for it by affirming those who surrounded dad.

No, Joey, I too was imagining Carson having apoplexy when he saw the Bushman's closet, all to a glorious club mix beat. :-)
