Rick: Okay...let's see if I've forgotten anything... oh yes, what's your favorit color? Texas governor George Bush Jr.: Red, white, and blue. Rick: One last question if I might, governor Bush: How do you plead on the vision thing? Texas governor George Bush Jr.: Vision thing? Rick: Yes, sir. Even your friends concede you seem to suffer from the same vision deficit that plagued your father. Any comment there? Texas governor George Bush Jr.: Well, first of all, I'm my own man. I'm not even technically George Bush "Junior", as some people would have you believe. So there's that. As for the vision deficit, that's completely off base! I've spoken about a brighter tomorrow, the need to lead, the future, and the need to lead. Those are my issues - I own them! Also, I care. I care deeply about being president. Now, if that makes me like my father, then so be it! Asterisk / Bush Sr.: Hee, hee! Take that, Mr. gotcha guy! Texas governor George Bush Jr.: Dad, please, I'll handle this.
