"Ten days out of the presidency, there I was with a plastic bag in my hand, picking up that which I had been dodging for eight years." George W. Bush on picking up his dog Barney’s poop from a neighbor’s lawn.
Liberal pundits can make fun of this low class kind of thing, but this is the very stuff that made people vote for him, that "gut feeling" thing, that visceral connection with Joe Sixpack that Barack Obama seems incapable of. The opposite of George W’s father who perhaps lost to Clinton over that grocery store scanner video. No connection…
Like it or not most Americans vote their gut, which for the most part is bloated and as full of crap as George’s Barney bag.
