Tricia Nixon's date with Dubya

[9215]

There aren't many details here, but Bush apparently tried to date her during his flight training. Look's like a Bush--Nixon dynasty gone sour.

Now I really know Poppy was Deepthroat, heeeee.

3. WOW! Nixon sent a jet to pick Bush up!

From the above link:

Celebrity Political Date.
During his flight training, Bush's celebrity showed in a couple of ways. Most famously, President Nixon sent a jet to pick up the young flight student for a date with his daughter Tricia......

5. Supposedly Trica put her foot down after the first date

and told daddy Nixon, no way would she go out with W again.

So much for Bu$h Sr's dynasty dream. Maybe that's why he turned on Nixon and became Deep Throat? Payback for Trica snubbing Shrub?

8. Did you read that somewhere?

Smart move on Tricia's part.

4. Bush entered the National Guard in 1968

That leaves plenty of time.


On edit: Also recall that Tricia's sister married Eisenhower's grandson. Looks like Nixon was trying to do a little dynasty-building of his own.

9. Nixon also tried to pair Tricia up with Prince Charles

and arranged a trip to a baseball game. Charles was bored to death with baseball – and Tricia, it seems. That would have been Nixon's dream – to be related to royalty.

2. w* is like the anti-Gump

He's had all these wonderful choices in life, with full access to anything and everything he could ever want, only instead of making the most of it with charm and understanding and a desire to maximize and realize his true potential, he went for instant gratification at the expense of others and learned nothing but fear, hatred and loathing of all he came across who did not share his passions. What a shame.

"He always had to calibrate everything," observes a peer, "find the middle ground between the family code and the times he grew up in." He didn't enlist and head for Vietnam. But "leaving the country to avoid the draft was not an option for me," he explains in his book. "I was too conservative and too traditional." Like many sons of prominent pols, W. found a place in the National Guard, spending nearly two years learning to fly fighter jets. By that time the F-102 was increasingly obsolete, so there was not much chance he would ever be called to serve overseas. The duty left him time to work on various political campaigns and even have a quick leave from his base when a plane arrived to fly him to Washington for a date with Tricia Nixon. But if he was using the Guard to avoid more onerous military service, the Guard was not above using the famous son as well. He was their antidrug poster boy: "George Walker Bush is one member of the younger generation who doesn't get his kicks from pot or hashish or speed," read a 1970 press release. "Oh, he gets high all right, but not from narcotics... As far as kicks are concerned, Lt. Bush gets his from the roaring afterburner of the F-102."
Through what he would later call his "nomadic years," he tried a series
