Lennon, a vocal supporter of independent presidential candidate Ross Perot, produced a copy of Perot's platform from a worn green bag. Lennon insisted that Enfield read aloud from the sections detailing Perot's pro-Choice and pro-contraception views...
Instead of a stimulus package, or a serious deficit-reduction plan, Bush in his January 1992 State of the Union address proposed a grab bag of tax breaks for favored investors and industries including real estate. Bush's proposals fell flat with Congress and the public, in part because of their tardiness: 17 months after the recession had begun. His poll ratings continued to slide.

"He didn't start talking until he was two," says his mother Millie, "and then he didn't stop." The ideas were familiar too -- a kind of birthright for Rush. "Echoes of my dad reverberate through everything my brother says," explains Limbaugh's brother David, 39, a lawyer who helped Rush assemble The Way Things Ought to Be.
