Bush and Dewitt
By Nice catch by Matt Duss. For all that we were worried about the journalistic black hole that a Houston-Boston World Series would have precipitated, Bush actually has a much closer relationship with Bill DeWitt, owner of the Cardinals.
DeWitt was instrumental in providing Bush the opportunity to establish credibility among Texas voters by giving him yet another high-visibility, low-responsibility position, this time in the Rangers baseball organization. Bush quite literally has DeWitt to thank for his career, for the small bit of business success which Bush was able to parlay into substantial political success, and we quite literally have DeWitt to thank for President George W. Bush.
Go Sox.
