Bush governed Texas. His attitude towards the perfection of Texas' judicial system is exemplified by his unwillingness to grant any exceptions to (Texas' highest of all states' execution rate). As of last year there remained at least one person on Texas' death row, waiting still to present exculpatory DNA evidence. He may or may not be dead today. (If the facts were reported with the accuracy claimed).

Texas' judicial system sets the basis for the above story, that department's policies - and their persistence: only massive public outcry caused any deviation - and the new rules will Not be applied to others in similar circumstances. (If the facts were reported with the accuracy claimed) Bush left there to govern US.

Is that relevant-smarmy enough? Speaking of smarmy - who mentioned Clinton gratuitously - what did he do to, for, about Texas? Self-adsorption - is that about Yuppie lifestyles or political slogans.

I know Dreiser. This is more Vidal. Did you read In The American Grain or It Can't Happen Here ?
