<< "On the surface, the Bushes seem the least likely family to lunge for a
restoration. By every appearance, they lack the Roosevelts' intensity or the
Kennedys' unembarrassed ambition. Yet they are poised to surpass them all.
They are the Quiet Dynasty, the one that loves to surprise, that never shows
its hand. Like old money, its assets are something it doesn't discuss in
public. Instead the Bushes speak of service, as in, "We're just so glad our
sons decided to follow us into public service" and it's not insincere because
they are glad, and the Bush code is not really about power; it is about
winning and achieving, doing your best, better than the other guy. For them,
dynasty is a fighting word, and it's no wonder, with its embedded insult of
unfair advantage. "Dynasty means something inherited," "W" told Time. "We
inherited a good name, but you don't inherit a vote. You have to win a vote."
If the family members manage to sound genuinely and sweetly surprised to find
themselves on stage for their fifth of the past six Republican conventions,
that's because even they find it "mind-boggling" that it would be "W" who has
brought them here. By the standards of the people who love him most, he
lacked the temperament to wear the crown. Oh, he was fun, outrageous, the
house rebel, great to have around. But when it came to the family business,
it was brother Jeb who was supposed to take over and run the show." >>
My impression is that the Bush family can surpass the Kennedy family for
amibition and the Roosevelts for intensity. In fact if one puts the
intensity and ambition together, the Bush family surpass the Borgias. I
don't think they're surprised with Shrub as a candidate either. I think
they're elated that the country would accept whatever Bush was left over.
Shrub may have been a bit surprised. Prudy
