Robert Ariail is a right-winger. He was pretty much a Bushbot during the Bush years. My, how times have changed...

So typical of rightwing bizzaro world thinking...

a. Christie is doing everything he can NOT to take blame

b. That list in Obama's hand is made up of either invented faux scandals or was hatched under Bush's term. Why SHOULD he voluntarily blame himself?

if he had stuck to painting and stayed the hell out of politics. He's no Da Vinci by any stretch but his art is ten times better than his judgment ever was. Sad. Especially for everyone who paid for his bad judgment with their lives.

President George W. Bush was unaware that there were two major sects of Islam just two months before the President ordered troops to invade Iraq.

He was making the rounds, showing off his paintings and yukking it up about a book or something. The popular media outlets all seem to have John McCain on often enough. Did they all lose 43's number at the same time?

Rumsfeld actually has a home in a community close to where I live (so does Cheney, but I haven't heard much about him lately).

Rummy apparently loves doddering around at community events. At the height of the lead up to the invasion of Iraq, I just missed him when he showed up to a hot dog stand my son's Cub Scout pack ran at a local festival. My son's shift didn't begin until shortly after Rummy left.

All the adults were all aglow from meeting him, but it was probably for the best that we weren't there when he showed up. I was very involved in the anti-war movement and was a local organizer. At the very least, I would've turned my back on him.

My wife said she saw him a couple weekends ago at a local 10k race (he was in his car, waving at bystanders). She said she didn't recognize him at first but then it dawned on her. I can't say I'm proud to admit this, but had I been there I probably would've flipped him the bird.

As for giving Rummy the bird, mooning him would be more apropos.

...the Canadian cartoonist illustrates how Bush paints what ISN'T there while the American cartoonists focus is 'selectivity'....which creates some wiggle room.

CAM wins!
