It's totally about George W. Bush.

His father had a job in Washington, "Junior" owned the Texas Rangers, was a "jet pilot" (but only did the bare minimum -- if that), got "gentleman's C's" in school (Harvard, among others), started a war "a hemisphere away", and when he was younger allegedly did a lot of drugs and admits to heavy drinking (letting his hair down) -- in politics, word gets around.
