Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah.  This is a case of you all totally 
and completely misquoting me.  

I have NEVER called George W. Bush an "extremist libertarian."  That 
was a quote from The Fortune Magazine Editor Jeff Birnbaum from 2004 
when he said roughly, "Bush is running as an extremist libertarian, 
wanting to cut government everywhere."

I have posted Friedman's quote, many times with a tongue in cheek 
comment like "really Jeff."  I've also raised the question how it is 
that LP Libertarians can bash Bush so much when people in the 
mainstream media view Bush as a deep spending cut advocate of  libertarianism.  
But I have never called Bush an "extremist libertarian," and to the best of my 
knowledge a "libertarian."  Perhaps his brother Jeb?  But not the big brother 
George.
