## GWB brings such attention on himself, with such winners as calling the Greeks “the Grecians”. It wasn’t very nice on the part of the reporter, but we have every right to know way ahead of time if our next president is an airheaded frat-boy who owes everything to his family name, his family money, and “Clinton fatigue”. GWB is Dan Quayle in a Harrison Ford mask.
