   The weekend that George went and campaigned with his father (the weekend   
   after the spider bite), he supposedly didn't say anything political. It was   
   reported in Kentucky papers (I'll look for the link) that Nick's "brain   
   trust" had George keep quiet to limit ammunition. Whether that's true or not   
   a can't say. The Republicans started using George's name and his political   
   beliefs as soon as Nick threw his hat into the ring. True, it has become   
   part of the political game, but IMO, George did a good thing in writing that   
   letter.   
   As far as using a real life event to poke a little light into a situation,   
   need I mention Bush and his WMD jokes at the Correspondents Dinner?
