A) Sometimes I exaggerate to make a point. Or sometimes I'm just baiting... B) Yes, Bush does push just about every button I possess. C) I don't always have the time to write something reasoned and well thought out. I'm just spitballing here, not writing position papers. D) There are plenty of conservatives who are the exact same way about Democrats and liberals and the Clintons. I realize that's not necessarily an excuse. E) Not to be rude, but there are some people who cannot mention George Bush and Iraq without getting all hagiographic and trembling with rapturous joy and admiration. Any criticism of any aspect of the recent war is automatically wrong and completely out of the question. They start frothing at the mouth as soon as anyone mentions looting or not enough troops, or anything similar... F) If you calm down, I will too.
