| Stand by your man |
| Sorry, I'm fascinated by this stuff: Bush and Rove will host a major fundraiser for Lincoln Chafee. Despite their periodic differences, Bush and Chafee seem to stand by one another when it counts (Chafee famously became visibly dispeptic over John Bolton but was unwilling to speak up against him). Before becoming too befuddled, it's important to note that the Bushes and the Chafee's go back a long way -- the two men's fathers were frat brothers at Yale. That may not seem to mean much, but pretty much all of the Bush family's biographers (at least the unauthorized ones) point to an intense fraternal loyalty system, mostly stemming from their Yale ties... |
