Dumbya Disses Poppy

At last week's CPAC conference, Dumbya said,

"I appreciate the fact you invited Vice President Cheney here. He is the best vice president in history. Mother may have a different opinion. But don't tell her I said this, but my opinion is the one that counts." (emphasis added; grammar and syntax pure Dumbya)

The Decider's back-handed reference to his father's two terms as Ronnie Raygun's vice president is more evidence, even in this joking context, that he sees his father's "legacy" as one to apologize for and run away from. Hence, finishing the job Poppy left undone (Saddam Hussein), isolating America in the world (counter to his father's relative internationalism), and his stubborn, small-bore ignorance (unlike his father's rather cosmopolitan history and worldview). Here's one case where the nut fell far from the tree.
