There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again.

    The rumor i heard is he might not have wanted to have an audio clip of himself saying "shame on me" that could have been used in any other context. But yeah he made himself look like an absolute twat that way. Not the best fast thinker.

    Yeah, Bush was very much faking his dumb hick persona. He needed to offset his Yale and Harvard education to his target demographic. He bought his Texas ranch right before running for office.

    The current GOP is a caricature of what he was doing.
