Thanks! I was going to post this myself, but I see you beat me to it! I appreciated both the practical information and the testimony to President Bush's character.

"So what I said to him was this: Your heart is where America is. Trust it and you'll be right." Which he knows anyway, and which is why we have trusted him with our fates.

Some decent praise from Horowitz, to counter all the slime from Apple, Dowd, and the rest of the usual suspects.

Yes, I thought that point was right on target.

I'm glad you enjoyed ir. I wish we'd both been there. LOL

Thanks for the ping *Smiles*

he is a serious and intelligent man. He is also a man with a moral core who will weigh his decisions carefully

What a wonderful read! This is so refreshing after the constant carping about "the month long vacation", etc.

A bit of local flavor for you -- U.S. Highway 84 runs East/West through McLennan County. You take it west to McGregor and turn right at the stoplight to get to Crawford. The highway has been renamed "George W. Bush Parkway" through Waco, Woodway and McGregor by overwhelming consensus of the city governments. No waiting around here to honor this fine man.

Wow! Thanks for the post. I love W even more than before. and I think I have finally forgiven Horowitz for his activities in Berkeley in the late 60s.

Thanks for the ping. I read this early this morning and am still smiling because of it - how refreshing after all the Bush bashing nornally found in the media. I particularly liked this part:

"Also important to keep in mind is that Al Gore, couldn't find a voice to help his country for eight months after 9/11. He was too busy deciding who he was and when to shave. When he did emerge, it was only to resume his mean-spirited attacks on the President from the place where he had left off, almost two years before. It was as though for him there was no space to serve his country in between his campaigns to serve himself."

Stay safe, Darlin'.

FR post on the Carville poll mentioned.

"...to Crawford continues on past the town until we come to the ranch where the afternoon's activities are scheduled to take place. It is not the Bush ranch itself but a neighbor's. One might guess the owner is a veteran from the arch over the entrance to his driveway. Over a trio of wagon wheels adorning the arch is the metal sculpture of a Huey helicopter, widely used in the Vietnam War...."

Texas State Troopers guard outside the "Broken Spoke" ranch entrance, near Crawford, Texas, where President Bush meets privately with Republican donors, Friday, Aug. 16, 2002. Eighteen months after he entered the White House, President Bush threw a party for the hundreds of people whose efforts helped raise a record $100 million as he hurtled through the 2000 primary season. The gathering at the ranch near Bush's own 1,600-acre spread is a thank you with an eye on the present and future as well as the past.(AP Photo/Ken Lambert)

Horowitz has redeemed himself LOL

That quote pretty much sums up Algore's past, presemt, future, doesn't it ?

Thanks, I'm trying to stay safe but it is beginning to look like we might be in for a long wait. It is very unsettling.
