Speaking of George H.W. Bush the spook:
In the aftermath of the 2000 election, a local "African" * talk show host thought it was mighty suspicious that Pres.-elect Bush's father had previously been the head of the Secret Police (the CIA). I called to ask her why the sitting Pres. and Veep wouldn't have more secret influence on elections, but she just screamed at me and hung up.
*Yeah, that's right, African. She doesn't want to be called Black or American, even though she was born here.
