"Bush # 1 hand-picked Clinton as his successor...."

Dreaded Guest, whatever tenuous whisp of reality you may have been hanging onto has definitely slipped out of your grasp. I've heard some weird shit before but this is the first time that I've ever heard of losing an election to someone referred to as hand-picking him as a successor. I suppose that means that if whoever the Democrats come up with to run against the current Prez Bush in 2004 should happen to win the election he will have been hand-picked by Bush #2. Please put your aluminum-foil-lined cap back on, take some Prozac, and take a nap.
