YRHT: Trendsetter

Came across this paragraph while idly perusing Slate:

Not even Oliver Stone could have imagined the eerie parallel between Bush and LBJ. Both men overcame the soft bigotry of low expectations to enjoy surprising electoral success. Both brought Texas-sized ambitions to the White House and insisted that America could binge on both guns and butter. Both squandered their high-flying popularity by mismanaging foreign entanglements. In their fifth year in office, both watched their own party sour on cronies they nominated for the Supreme Court.

I believe a certain NOLA blogger has more than once written similarly.

Note: the Slate is about the World Series and the possibility of a Texass curse...aside from the curse of Texass itself, certainly an interesting coincidence (noted by Reed) is while the White Sox are beating Houston, Team Bush is fading, thanks to...a Chicago prosecutor.
