re: #159 WindUpBird
I have reaaally softened on Bush these days. I was softer on him than my friends at the time, and even softer on him now. I have come to the conclusion that I blamed things on Bush that were really beyond his ability to stop
I have hardened on the GOP, however :D
The man got his thumb caught in the doorjamb of history, and you gotta give him props for a lot.
This is not to say I will ever be a George Bush fan, but he did the best he could, as Molly Ivins reminds us, all our presidents do.
