BUSH A "SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN"????

I couldn't believe my ears. This afternoon on the Hugh Hewitt show, I heard conservative columnist Frank Gaffney say, "If he [Bush] hadn't been a successful businessman, he wouldn't be president now." SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN????? The only business Bush was ever involved in that didn't go bust and require bailing out by his daddy's business cronies (including Saudis and even the bin Laden family) was his association with the Texas Rangers ballclub, a deal that finally made his fortune. But let's not forget that he bought his single-digit interest (less than 3%) in the club with the money he made by (illegally) selling his stock in Harken Energy.

Have these people no shame, that they can lie so facilely? What a question -- of course not.
