I saw George H.W. Bush give a speech in southern Illinois in early 1980 when he was campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination. His spiel was the usual campaign stump speech, with nothing memorable. However, after the speech, a young student at Southern Illinois University politely asked him about his role in the Trilateral Commission. Bush became unglued, shouting angrily about how people were always hassling him about that connection. Maybe Bush was just having a bad day but I was stunned by his reaction. Reagan thrashed him in the Illinois primary, carrying conservative-leaning areas in southern Illinois by huge margins. Bush’s Establishment style utterly failed to resonate in that part of the state.

LOL, and the rest of them are all looking very worried they'll meet in the afterlife.

Big laughs from my better half.
Now that all the Bush marmalade is is over and done with, I can go back to the local news & weather in the car. The Houston radio is in the bag solid for this family.
700 AM KSEV, I will say, has been letting some callers vent on the dirty wars and some other capers that would have seen these people "lynched in the streets" had we been living in a land of more historical discernment.
