Frank Rich: When You Got It, Flaunt It:
"The reigning bogus good ole boy in public life remains our blue-blood president,
an heir to large and aristocratic American fortunes on both the Bush and Walker sides of his family. Unlike his father, he is not about to be caught asking for 'a splash more coffee.' On the eve of his visit to London this week, he hit a characteristically phony note when he told an interviewer, 'I never dreamt when I was living in Midland, Texas, that I would be staying in Buckingham Palace.' Mr. Bush, who was born in New Haven, lived in Midland until only the age of 15 before moving on to such hick venues as Andover, Yale and Harvard when not vacationing in family compounds in Kennebunkport, Me., or Jupiter Island, a tony neighbor of Palm Beach."
