Sully points out one of the nuggets from tonight's George HW Bush doc on HBO:

No longer running for anything, Bush finally ends the politically expedient fiction that he’s a pork-rind-loving Texan instead of an Eastern establishment blueblood. Touting his qualifications for the presidency, including jobs as U.S. envoy to China and director of the CIA, he tellingly remarks: "It wasn’t like out of the clear blue sky some hick from West Texas coming in."

Ah, the curtain's finally raised to reveal one of the biggest bullshitting jobs of all-time, and one that has hurried along the sunset of the American Empire via being passed onto his "rootin'-tootin, grab me a beer yall I'm jes' folks like you!" son, Yosemite Dubyanuts.
