Who Is This Chickenshit?

by digby

It seems that the Bush family has a habit of getting bent out of shape when new Senators don’t properly kiss their asses:

At his first White House reception with Bush Sr., Wellstone wasted no time in buttonholing the president about his progressive priorities. When Wellstone finally let him be, President Bush was heard asking an advisor, “Who is this chicken shit?”

I suppose before one becomes a Senator one might think that one has the right to speak seriously to the president about important issues when one is in his presence. Equal branch of government and all that rot. Apparently, that’s simply not done. At least it’s not done if the President is named Bush.

Perhaps the key to solving this particular problem is to not have any more presidents named Bush. Ever.
