Yep, I am still waiting for GW to tell us who trashed the White House when they left office, but instead GWHB adopted a new son, and GW has a new brother.

Royalty they stick together, can't let the pitchfork crowd have to much info, they might get mad at the whole bunch, nope gotta stick together.
