Hello

I went to see the movie "W." this weekend. In the
Movie, there is a shirt cufflink pass on from, George
H. W. Bush to his oldest son George W Bush. This
was done just before his morning inauguration
As governor of Texas. This cufflink was given to
George H. W. Bush, from his father Prescott Bush
before going to serve in War II.

The cufflink has a coin on the front.

It is only shown for a couple of seconds in the
movie. It is an old coin.

I have not been able to find out what that coin
Is. I am a bit burn out using the search engines on
the Internet.

Would anyone know what that coin may be????

Looks like I will go back to the theater to view the
movie again. Is there any still images of the cufflink?

Well Lordy, Lordy, God only knows which RCC denizen would go to see
Stone's outlandish smear movie.

Did you see were Richard Dreyfus refuted this POC today, Fwankie???

Said that Stone was a liberal fascist and that he (Dreyfus) only did
the Cheney "role for the money".

"Doing it for the money" is something that you must inherently
understand Frank.

Actually the movie was a sympathetic treatment of a tragic figure.

How is it possible to "smear" Dubya?
He's easily the worst president I've seen in my lifetime and quite
possibly the worst in history.

I haven't seen it yet, but I will. As I understand it, it makes Bush
look foolish. Doesn't that make it a documentary?
