Uyamkhumbula uJonathan Bush? Kude kube kutshanje, owayengumongameli omncinci kaMongameli uGeorge Bush, owayekhathazekile kwi-Broadway hoofer wajika umphathi wezemali owayekhe wangumphathi omkhulu weRiphabhlikhi yaseNew York, wanyamalala kwinto enye eginye uDonald Nixon noBilly Carter. Kodwa ngokungafaniyo nabazalwana bokuqala bokungonwabi, uJonathan Bush ubuyile okwesibini.
Ukubuya kwakhe ekulibalekeni kulula: Umtshana wakhe, u-G. George W. Bush wase-Texas, uvele njengoyena mntu ubethanda unyulo luka-Mongameli we-Republican kunyaka olandelayo, nangona engekabhengezi ukuba lilungu. Iipolitiki zakuqala zibonisa ukuba ubetha u-Sekela Mongameli u-Al Gore, u-Bill Clinton oyindlalifa, okuthetha ukuba kungenzeka ukuba aqale ukufumana zonke iintlobo zenkxaso ekubaleni abapolitiki abangafuni ukuba ngumkhweli wokugqibela kwi-bandwagon. Akumangalisi ke ngoko, ukuba iRiphabhlikhi yaseNew York enamandla yakhumbula ngesiquphe ukuba yintoni umntu othandekayo nothandekayo uJonathan Bush, kwaye engumdanisi onjalo!
U-Bush oneminyaka engama-67 ubudala ngokucacileyo uyakonwabela ukuphinda avele njengendoda yokubona, ukucaphula, kunye nokuthopha. Ke xa wayethetha neNew York Post malunga nenenekazi lokuqala lase-US u-Hillary Clinton ukuba aqhubeke e-New York kulo nyaka uzayo, u-Mnu. UMariya. Ewe, iphulo lika-Nks.Clinton elinokwenzeka alinanto yakwenza nomkhankaso kaMongameli ka-George W. Bush, kodwa u-Jonathan Bush ngokucacileyo akafuni kudlulisa ithuba lokunikezela ngombono wenyama ebomvu, ngoku sele ebuyile imali. Umnumzana uBush, owake wadunyiswa kwi-New York Times njenge-hayseed yokuqala yokubonisa uWill Parker kwimveliso ye-Off-Broadway yase-Oklahoma, ngokucacileyo wayezonwabisa kwaye ehlekisa, utshilo unyana wakhe uBilly Bush, umsasazi wakusasa I-Z104-FM eWashington, DC
Xa umkhuluwa wakhe wayesemandleni, umnumzana Bush wadla kunye neenkulumbuso kunye nookumkani e-White House kwaye waphosa ubunzima bakhe ngamanqanaba ahlukeneyo empumelelo kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseNew York. Emva koko uBill Clinton wonyulwa kwaye uMnumzana Bush wafumanisa ukuba akanabo abantu abaninzi abathandayo njengoko wayecinga. Kwakungasekho zinto zihlekisayo zihlangu ezithambileyo eAlbany cofa isidlo sangokuhlwa. Akukho mntu wambizayo ukuba akhokele abaphulaphuli kwiingoma kwiindibano zopolitiko. Abanye bade bathi wakhutshwa ngumkhenkce owayesakuba nguSenator Alfonse D'Amato, owayexhasa uBob Dole ngokuchasene nomntakwabo ngo-1988 kwi-Republican Presidential primaries. UJon wayevalelwe ngokusesikweni nje ukuba umzalwana wakhe aphume kwi-White House, utshilo osebenza kwiRiphabhlikhi.
Kodwa ngoku xa omnye uBush emi ithuba elihle lokuba nguMongameli, abantu ngequbuliso abanakukugqitha ukuba lilungelo elingakanani na lezopolitiko. UJon uyayazi indlela yakhe ejikelezayo, utshilo intlalontle uGeorgette Mosbacher, umfazi weKomiti yeSizwe yeRiphabhlikhi. Uyayazi le meko ukusuka phezulu kuye ezantsi. Uyayazi imbonakalo yomhlaba, izigcayiseli, kwaye uyabazi abadlali. Kwaye unenkumbulo yeziko eya kumnceda kakhulu umtshana wakhe.
Uhlonitshwe kakhulu, utshilo uPeter Powers, owayesakuba ngusekela sodolophu wokuqala kunye nomhlobo osenyongweni kasodolophu uRudolph Giuliani. Ngokuqinisekileyo unegama elihle. Abantu baya kunikela ingqalelo kuye.
Umdlalo Omkhulu wokuhleba
Akucaci ukuba yeyiphi indima azakudlala uMnu Bush ukuba umtshana wakhe athathe isigqibo sokutsala uJohn Quincy Adams kunyulo lwaseMelika. Usalile Isicelo soMbonisi sokuba nodliwanondlebe ngeli bali. Kodwa kuyacaca ukuba uMnu Bush usazithanda iipolitiki, awakhe wabhekisa kuwo njengomdlalo omkhulu wokuhleba. Ke akukho mathandabuzo mncinci ukuba uya kuba nenxaxheba kwiphulo lomtshana wakhe. Sele ezithulele ukufikelela kubanikeli abakhulu baseNew York egameni lomtshana wakhe. Into anokuyenza kukubuyisa abanye babaxhasi bakaReagan noBush eNew York abangakhange basebenze kwezopolitiko zaseNew York kule minyaka isibhozo idlulileyo, utshilo uZenia Mucha, umlawuli wezonxibelelwano kwiRhuluneli uPataki, ekuthiwa Ukujonga ukuqinisekiswa kweRhuluneli yaseTexas. Uya kuba nakho ukuqokelela inkxaso ethile yemali.
Uninzi lwabantu baseRiphabhlikhi bazama ukufumana umgca kwiRhuluneli Bush, utshilo umcebisi ngezopolitiko uNorman Adler. UJon uzenzele umgca.
Ukuba uGeorge W. Bush uphumelele unyulo lonyaka ozayo, uJonathan Bush waphinda wazidibanisa neenkokheli zehlabathi kwiminyhadala yoluntu yaseWhite House. Kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo uya kuba ejikelezwe ngabaphetheyo kunye nabathile abanokumkhuthaza ukuba ahlaziye iintsuku zakhe zobungangamsha njengomphathi wezopolitiko waseNew York, ungaze ucinge ukuba ngelixa enegumbi elise-Upper East Side, uvota eKillingworth, eConn Watsho umntu ongaphakathi kwiRiphabhlikhi: Umfo onomtshana wakhe nguMongameli waseMelika uhlala eyindoda ebalulekileyo.
Umnumzana Bush usoloko exhamla kolu nxibelelwano. Kuthiwa uyindoda enomtsalane edlala umdlalo wentenetya kwaye wonwabele ihlaya elihle. Kodwa abantu bahlala benengxaki yokumthatha ngokungathí sina, mhlawumbi ngenxa yokuba wayehlala ekhangeleka njengomntakwabo womntwana onomdla. Uvakala kanye njengomntakwabo odumileyo, ophumelele isidanga kuYale, xa evula umlomo. Kodwa uneendlebe ezinkulu, impumlo ebonakalayo kunye ne-self-deprecating grin.
Nokuba kulungile okanye akunjalo, umfanekiso uyaqondakala, kuba uhlala edlala indima exhasayo kusapho lakwaBush. Emva kokuchitha iminyaka emibini emkhosini, uMnu. Bush wazama ngelizama ukuba yingoma yomdaniso nengoma, efunda notitshala obambeleyo uStella Adler, inkulu kuMarlon Brando noRobert De Niro. Washiya umnqweno wakhe eneminyaka engama-30 xa engaphumeleli kuvavanyo kwimveliso ye-Broadway yeNdithathe.
Umnumzana Bush wazinza ngemisebenzi yemveli, wasungula uJ.Bush kunye neNkampani, inkampani ethobekileyo yolawulo lotyalo mali. Wenza kakuhle ngokwaneleyo njengomphathi wemali, kodwa xa umntakwabo waba ngu-Sekela Mongameli kwi-1981, waxhuma kwithuba lokwenza into ebanomdla ngakumbi.
Umnumzana Bush waba ngusihlalo wezezimali weRiphabliki kaRhulumente ngo-1983. Yayingumsebenzi awonwabileyo kakhulu. Akazange nje aqokelele izigidi zeedola ukugcina ipati yelizwe eligulayo iqhubeka; Wothusa abaphulaphuli kwisidlo sangokuhlwa soMbutho wabaNxibelelanisi boMthetho e-Albany ngomculo othunyelweyo we-Gov. U-Mario Cuomo, uculelwe ingoma kaMarian waseLayibrari.
Ngelixa eligqibeleleyo likaMnu Bush, nangona kunjalo, wafika xa wayedlala indima ebalulekileyo kwimpumelelo yomntakwabo kwi-1988 Republican Presidential primary in New York. Ukhubaze urhulumente, encoma uSekela Mongameli kunye nabaphulaphuli abakhokelayo kwingoma enesihloko esithi, Votela uGeorge Bush. Nawuphi na umzalwana oza kuyenza loo nto kufuneka alunge, utshilo uRobert Wood Johnson IV, ovunyiweyo weRephabliki oxhasa imali kunye nomhlobo kaMnu.
Kodwa u-First-Brother-to-be also be able to thw up Mr. D'Amato's push for Bob Dole, his brother's nemesis. Umzabalazo waba novakalelo kangangokuba uMnu.Bush kunye noMnumzana D'Amato baphantse beza kubetha ngaxa lithile, ngokutsho kwenye ingxelo yeendaba.
Kodwa la madoda mabini afikelela kwisigqibo esingathandekiyo emva kweprayimari. Kwimemori yakhe, Amandla, Ezopolitiko kunye nePasta, Umnumzana D'Amato wanika uMnu.Bush eyona mbeko iphakamileyo: Wanyusa umzalwana wakhe ngokungakhathali, engacingi ukuba angathetha eRochester kusasa emva koko atye isidlo sangokuhlwa eLong Island. Wayezonwabisa, esidla kwaye ethandeka kuzo zonke izithili nakwisithili. Uye waba ngomnye wabaxhasi bethu beyona fund.
Kodwa enye iRiphabhlikhi-eyanyusa ingxowa-mali yathi uMnu D'Amato wayenomdla ngakumbi ekusebenziseni uMnu. Bush ukutsala abanikeli kunokubiza ubukrelekrele bakhe bezopolitiko. U-D'Amato uza kusebenzisa igama lakhe, utshilo umniki mali. Wayeza kuthi, ‘Owu, ndinomntu omkhulu oza kunyusa ingxowa kwaye uJonathan Bush uyeza.’ Wayevakala ngathi uJoe Torre uyeza okanye uTino Martinez. Andicingi [Mnu. Bush] wakhe wanempembelelo ekwenzeni abagqatswa okanye nantoni na enjalo.
Kodwa wayengenazintloni malunga nokuvavanya amandla akhe ezopolitiko. Phakathi kogqatso luka-Mongameli lowe-1988, uMnu. Bush wazama ukuphosa owayesakuba ngu-G.O.P. Usihlalo welizwe uRichard Rosenbaum washiya iKomiti yeRiphabhlikhi yeSizwe kuba engavumi ukuxhasa umntakwabo. Ngaphandle kokunxibelelana kwakhe, uMnu.Bush wasilela kakubi. Ndicinga ukuba wonke umntu wamcaphukisa edlala igorila engama-500, watsho uRosenbaum.
Oonobangela abalahlekileyo
I-Rosenbaum debacle yayisisiqalo nje. Emva kokunyulwa komntakwabo, uMnu.Bush ngokungakhathali waxhasa uluhlu olude lwezinto ezilahlekileyo zeRiphabhlikhi, kubandakanya nomgqatswa weSenate wase-US uRobert McMillan kunye nomgqatswa wobuphathiswa eGeorge uPierre Rinfret. Uzamile ukurhwebelana phakathi kukaRonald Lauder noRudolph Giuliani ngexesha le-1989 usodolophu waseRiphabhlikhi ngokukhuthaza umbono wetikiti likaLauder-Giuliani. Ayizange iye ndawo.
Kwathi ngo-1990, uMnu. Bush watyhiliza iNew York Post esithi akavumelani nesigqibo somntakwabo sokulwa nokuqhomfa, nto leyo ebangela ukuba usapho lakwaBush lubiyelwe ngulo mbambano. Yayiyinto yokugqibela uMongameli uBush awayeyidinga njengoko wayevutha ngumsindo ngokukhulisa irhafu ngaphandle kokuzibophelela.
Kodwa uMongameli Bush wahlala ethembekile kumntakwabo omncinci. Kwaye uJonathan Bush ubuyisele ubabalo. Ngeentsuku zokugqibela zomdyarho ka-1992 ngokuchasene noMnumzana uClinton, wabonwa esisiteki kwiT-shirt kaBush-Quayle kwivenkile enkulu yaseMedford, e-LI, nomgqatswa weCongress ofanelwe ngumgwebo. Ukujika kwamaza, bantu, utshilo. Kuza ngathi awuzange ubone. Ngokuqinisekileyo ebefanele ukuba uzame indlela yezihlangu ezithambileyo.
Xa uMnumzana uClinton waphumelela, uMnu.Bush, owayephumile njengosihlalo wezezimali ngo-1989, wafumanisa ukuba akukho mfuneko yeetalente zakhe-nokuba kukonyuswa ingxowa-mali okanye ingoma kunye nomdaniso.
Abanye batyhola uMnu. D'Amato, utshaba lwakhe oludala. Abanye bathi uMnu. Bush uphulukene nejusi yakhe yakuba boyisiwe umntakwabo. Kodwa ngoku xa enesinye isihlobo esisebenzela uMongameli, uMnu. Bush ukhumbuza abantu baseNew York ukuba uselapha.
Uye waba semnxebeni, utshilo uNkskz. Mosbacher. Sukuyenza impazamo: Ebekwifowuni echukumisa isiseko kunye namandla akule meko. Usebenze kuyo okwethutyana. Uyinto yokwenene. Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo.
