QuoteAdvisers say Mr. Bush, who grew up with resentments about the East Coast elite, likes Mr. Tenet for his lack of pretense. In a speech in 1999 at his alma mater, Benjamin N. Cardozo High School in Queens, Mr. Tenet called himself ''the short fat guy from Little Neck,'' and told the crowd that ''many of you will go on to college and you will run into people who went to fancy prep schools and who appear to have a higher quality education than you do. They don't.''
George Tenet, former director of the CIA.
