But seriously, you cannot discuss W. without placing him in Herbert Walker's particular frame of reference. Cheney is important in that sphere of activity but have you ever heard of Oglesby's Yankee vs. Cowboy theory of all this? Basically it states that the long-standing power elite of this country resided with the bankers/wall street/cia of the east who were then seriously challenged by the new oil money of the 20's & 30's and Herbert Walker, embodying both, was (and I guess if Oglesby were still alive he would still say that Herbert Walker still is able) able to align those competing interests. I think it goes very far in providing background to much of this country's history the last 90 years.

Fortunately we're spared Jeb. For now.

Have you happened to have read Russ Baker's 'Family of Secrets?'
