Since When Do You Need Experience

To be President of the United States?

"President Bush criticized Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards in his own home state on Wednesday by questioning whether Edwards has sufficient experience to be a heartbeat away from the presidency."

This is pretty funny coming from George W. Bush. When he was elected appointed in 2000 the only political experience he had was a single 6 year term as Governor of Texas. His glaring inexperience even led fellow republicans to question his credentials (thanks to E.J. Dionne):
"When you hear Republicans disparage Sen. John Edwards's lack of experience, remember the words of Sen. Orrin Hatch, spoken to George W. Bush at a debate on Dec. 6, 1999.

"You've been a great governor," Hatch declared of his rival for the Republican presidential nomination. "My only problem with you, governor, is that you've only had four and going into your fifth year of governorship ... Frankly, I really believe that you need more experience before you become president of the United States. That's why I'm thinking of you as a vice presidential candidate."


George W. Bush shows us the number of elected
offices he held prior to becoming President.


If elected Vice-President, John Edwards will have served a full six-year term as a United States Senator. He will be 51.

Now can everyone please shut the fuck up and start talking about some issues?
