In Fairness to Bush Pere...

It all comes down to the comma. Jane takes this quote...

"I think when the history of this period is written, people will realize a lot of the decisions that were made on Wall Street took place over a decade or so, before I arrived," he said.


...to mean that Bush blames his father for the Wall Street mess. I don't think so. Granted that Bush is a near-illiterate drunken fool, but if this is transcribed accurately, he's actually referring to the Clinton presidency -- as in, that was a decade ago, which was before Jr. done fucked up the country.

Now, sans comma, then he'd surely be talking shit about his dad.
