This just shows the low level, the stunted quality of this man's moral reasoning. Children may think only in the level of black and white. But responsible adults more often see shades of gray. Because in the difficult situations, there is often no clear answer - without careful teasing out of competing values and concerns. People like bush become "one issue voters," imagining that by ruling out certain kinds of people or behaviors (it's nearly always ruling them out, isn't it) that they can "rid" the world of evil and be assured that leaders who mouth certain words will keep them safe from the demons they fear.

bush is a child. and a naughty one at that. a demanding little emperor - without the clothing of temperance or wisdom or compassion and so many other signs of moral goodness.

Thanks for drawing our attention to this. It certainly validates the point of my blog on ethics (the antithesis of bush):

"I have often spoken to you about good and evil," he said. "This has made some uncomfortable. But good and evil are present in this world, and between the two there can be no compromise." - W

The arrogance reflected in just the parental tone alone makes we want to scratch my eyeballs out. Combine that with this typically childish message and the 100 on good day delivery it's just too much for me to handle.

The thing taken as a whole is a disgusting mixed metaphor; a childish message delivered in a parental tone.

Who the fuck does he think we are?

Regan drove me over the edge. Here was a B-movie actor whom I best remembered as the Old Prospector character from the TeeVee Death Valley Days series, and he was elected president. And he had an ex-CIA Director as his VP. It was all wrong. His senior moment gaffes endeared him to comedians, and he did not quite start a nuclear war with the USSR. His dementia allowed the VP to quietly assume the office. That VP was subsequently elected to serve another four years as president, joined by the silliest VP in history. His hopes for reelection failed when the voters decided to go with the smart guy instead of the stupid one.
W was worse, I concede. Because not only was he stupid enough to make people suspect dain bramage, but he allowed himself to be surrounded by profoundly evil advisors who were eager to make up for time lost on their agenda when the smart guy was president.
George Walker (may he never run again) Bush, the President from Hell.

The whining liberals just can't get enough.

What will you all do when Obama takes office on Tuesday?

Will Olberman be forced to cancel his show??

I can only pray that he and Rachel will be off the air because they won't have anything new to talk about.

Watch and learn, MCB, how democracy works. There will be no glassy eyed agreement with everything Obama does. You've been here long enough to know we will not walk in goose step and apologize profusely when Obama slips up. We've already challenged his pick for invocation. There are those here not happy that Hillary is SoS, but most will agree to see how she turns out.

Watch and learn. Democrats are not a bunch of bobble-headed dolls bent on instituting pure socialism the way the Reich fought so hard for the free market until it self-destructed as it did in the 1930s. We admit our mistakes and we learn from them. We do not expel people for having different views, we expect them to defend themselves and, if a position is indefensible, we change our course.

The Presidency if George W. Bush is indefensible, IMHO. He was a train wreck that took eight years to finally come to an end. This country is so tired of him they can barely watch his Farewell Address or take much interest in his Legacy Tour. I'm not talking about the strong personalities that blog about politics. I'm talking about those other plumbers who are sick of his BS. Tired of people attacking the ones who call Bush on his BS. They are ready for change and seeking hope. If the tenor of the voices on this blog are any indication, we are not expecting him to do it all. We are ready to clean up the mess.

The WSJ says it better than I could.

Oh plesae - Richard Clarke? I guess he'll do whatever to sell books. He said back in the late '90s that Iraq and al Qaeda were connected. Remember the bombing of the US embassies in Iraq.

He's changed his mind so many times and contradicted himself. I'm surprised you're using Clarke as your source
