Letter: One Bush avoids trip to Las Vegas
Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2002 | 8:58 a.m.
Seems to me that House candidate Jon Porter, Sen. John Ensign, Gov. Kenny Guinn and pretty much all Republicans in Nevada should be ashamed or embarrassed.
As George Bush Sr. visits Las Vegas this week, I believe his second or third visit in the past year, why hasn't his son, the above's leader, our leader, visited Las Vegas in say four to five years or ever? Never during his election run of 2000, nor during his past two years in office!
Does he know something we don't -- maybe they're already shipping the nukes?
I mean, this is the fastest growing town in America, or a close second, becoming a true melting pot. You'd think we be deemed more important by the current administration other than the "nuke depository."
