Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker wrote in a recent column of her admiration for all things Bush. Recounting her positive past experiences with the Bushes over the years, she is now turning her attention to the latest entry into the family's reach for national power. She specifically pointed out that:

"As to the dynasty question, (Jeb) Bush settled the issue, indirectly and cleverly: 'The presidency,” he said, “should not be passed on from one liberal to the next.'

Classy. And the real point, after all. "

Uh, no, Ms. Parker. You, and Jeb-boy have BOTH missed the point.

In the midst of the scandal that Dennis Hastert has created for himself, he has had a nice, comfy life since his congressional days. He has earned millions of dollars as a lobbyist, fronting for some real swell firms supporting fracking and cigarettes, among others. Not bad for a former high school wrestling coach.

The latest wisdoms as spouted by Karl Rove are simply his way of staying in the game. His attack against Hillary Clinton as having possible brain damage due to a fall that sidelined her for several months back in 2012, is ever-so transparent.

For erstwhile Kansas Senator Pat Roberts, “Home Sweet Home” is a relative term. While he claims “knows the state better than anyone else”, it must be through osmosis.

What is this nonsense over that idiot rancher in Nevada? It all started when the Feds decided to ask the farmer in question to kindly stop grazing his cattle on federal land. He has had a free ride for many years, but now, when he would not longer be allowed to mooch off the land for his profit, well, you’d think the government was asking for his first-born. Claiming it was “his” land, he got his neighbors to join in the fun of blockading and threatening governmental officials when they tried to remove his doggies from their free feedlot. Then, right-wing radio and far-right politicians claimed this guy to be a folk-hero. He is merely standing up to the big, bad federal government, they exclaimed. He's the little guy fighting for his “rights” to turn his cattle loose on land that's not his, all in the name of freedom and, well, just to be anti-governmental.

I must be missing something.
