George W. Bush was born in Conneticut, spent a couple of early years in Midland, attended prep school in New York, and college at Yale and plans to retire in Paraguay. He always treated Texas like a colonialist. Don't blame us for the fact that he is a good mimic of accents.

He also got elected governor. The state went for him in both presidential elections, no?

So, yes, I feel it is appropriate to blame 'Texas'.

The state deserves every bit of scorn heaped upon it.

What Texas lacks in quality it makes up for in quantity.
