re: It's 2000; What are you arguing here regarding who won Florida?

You guys treat the truth like Ebola.

When I graduated from law school, I clerked in Austin. Loved It so much I stayed for two years. I had a friend of mine there (gays have two degrees of separation) whose father was very wealthy an oilman, had gone to Yale with Bush senior. His father and the president were still tight.

Anyway my friend was a complete frickup. He was going to St. Edwards in Austin and had dropped down to one class, Equestrian Jumping. The only thing to motivate him to go to the gym with me was coke. Not Coke but coke.

When I used to get on him for being such a damn idiot, he'd laugh and use W as his hero. He'd say "hey, if W can run for governor so can I one day!" I heard quite a lot of the back story of the Bushes.

Unfortunately for my friend, he died of a heart attack about 15 years ago. What a waste.
