Gore Vidal, interviewed in the October issue of Talk:

"The Bush family, starting with Senator Prescott Bush, father to George I, has always been a middling sort of family, undistinguished intellectually and largely ineffective politically. Nixon the Wise told Murray Kempton after Bush became president, 'There's really nothing there. He's the sort of person you appoint to things.' Then the dark, wise old face gleamed satanically, 'Now that Barbara, she's something else. Really vindictive.'"
