I know how tuned in DU'ers are, so I'm sure this is a dupe. Well worth the repeat post IMHO!

Call Me a Bush-Hater
By Molly Ivins, The Progressive
November 14, 2003

Among the more amusing cluckings from the right lately is their appalled discovery that quite a few Americans actually think George W. Bush is a terrible president.

Robert Novak is quoted as saying in all his 44 years of covering politics, he has never seen anything like the detestation of Bush. Charles Krauthammer managed to write an entire essay on the topic of "Bush-haters" in Time magazine as though he had never before come across a similar phenomenon.

Oh, I stretch memory way back, so far back, all the way back to – our last president. Almost lost in the mists of time though it is, I not only remember eight years of relentless attacks from Clinton-haters, I also notice they haven't let up yet. Clinton-haters accused the man of murder, rape, drug running, sexual harassment, financial chicanery, and official misconduct. And they accuse his wife of even worse.

4. Molly Ivins is a doll.
I love that woman. There are days I wish she and Paul Krugman would hitch up and run for office, but we'd be in danger of entering a utopian era then.

6. I've always been
against hatred, but the animostiry those assholes heaped on Clinton can't hold a candle to my detestation of this empty-headed dolt. Hey, Molly, YOU GO GIRL!!!
