Brian Linse quotes Maureen Dowd as follows:
Can a Bush – born on third base but thinking he hit a triple – ever really understand the problems of the guys in the bleachers?
That’s a great line. It was also a great line in 1988 when it was said about Poppy Bush by either Jim Hightower or Ann Richards. Doesn’t really matter, my point is that Dowd is actually quoting someone. She ought to say so.
