Miei cari,

qualche giorno fa ho ricevuto da un amico americano il curriculum -- il resoconto della brillante carriera -- di George W. Bush. Quanti di voi lo eleggerebbero come Presidente o come primo Ministro? Meriterebbe di essere tradotto in italiano per chi di voi non lo conosce tanto.

Ma per fortuna noi abbiamo Berlusconi che ci basta! A proposito di Beslusconi, l'associazione umanitaria My Milano Young onlus, di cui ho già parlato, è stata promossa e patrocinata niente di meno che dal comune di Milano! Guardate il successo della serata sponsorizzata da loro e non so quale assessore. Sono anche pubblicizzati dalla pagina di Via Montenapoleone.

Hanno raccolto circa 70.000 Eu, che sembrano molti, ma se si pensa che un semplice ragazzo/ragazza della Milano "béne" spende per una serata fuori, nei locali, una media di 300-400 Eu, fra benzina uso cellulare aperitivo cena e almeno un paio di locali con privé (senza è davvero cafone) ecc., questi soldi non sono poi tantissimi. Quanto costerà per esempio mantenere una certa auto, o avere l'autista? O gli zatteroni Dolce & Gabbana, o i soprammobili firmati testa-di-Buddha, o la penna Herbert von Karajan della Montblanc (è la mia preferita, però le ho tutte), ecc.?

L'associazione si è arricchita di nomi quali Tronchetti, Moratti, ecc. Ometto i nomi propri per rispettare la loro privacy. Per carità, se fanno del bene, ben venga.. A proposito, hanno anche lanciato una linea di borse disegnate da Giulia Ligresti, Presidente di Premafin Finanziaria SPA e varie altre cosucce: vuoi vedere che per essere in linea un giorno si quota in borsa e magari un giorno -- magari, dico, non lo dò per certo -- si scoprirà che col fatto che sono Onlus non pagano tasse? (scusate il pasticcio di parole non voluto:))

NB sul cv di Bush: ha passato il college, subito dopo le medie superiori, con C. Guardate a cosa equivale nel sistema scolastico americano. Intanto vi anticipo che a Harvard il minimo che potevamo dare era B, e C è peggio, ovviamente.

To my US friends: the following it's a joke! Also because the resume forgot Guantanamo jail.

GEORGE W. BUSH
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington , DC 20520

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

LAW ENFORCEMENT
I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available.

MILITARY
I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use.
By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam.

COLLEGE
I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. I was a cheerleader.

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE
I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas, in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock.

I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money. With the help of my father and our friends in the oil industry, including Enron CEO Ken Lay, I was elected governor of Texas.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS
I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union. During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America. I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of
billions in borrowed money. I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history. With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida , and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT
I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record. I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week. I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury. I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history. I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period. I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period. I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market.

In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month.

I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice [n.d.r. ex-Chevron Director], had a Chevron oil tanker named after her. I set the
record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. President. I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations. My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. History, Enron.

My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision. I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history.

I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed. I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history. I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts. I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any President in U.S. history. I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the U.S. government.

I've broken more international treaties than any President in U.S. history. I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission. I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law. I refused to allow inspectors access to U.S . "prisoners of war" detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention. I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election). I set the record for fewest numbers of press conferences of any President since the advent of television. I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period. After taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst
security failure in U.S. history. I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.

I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protests against any person in the history of mankind.

I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the
majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community.

I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for
active duty troops and their families-in-wartime. In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq and then blamed the lies on our British friends. I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security. I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker
Buster," a WMD. I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden [sic] to justice.

RECORDS AND REFERENCES
All records of my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed and unavailable for public view. All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view. All records or
minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President, attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review. I am a member of the Republican Party.

PLEASE CONSIDER MY EXPERIENCE WHEN VOTING IN THE 2006 MIDTERM ELECTIONS.
