Burning Bush-Can he take more heat?
Burning Bush
Can he take more heat?

By Gene Weingarten
Sunday, April 15, 2007; W44

Once upon a time, no one criticized George W. Bush. That was about five years ago, when questioning the president was unpatriotic. Then, gradually, liberals began to voice grievances, then moderate Democrats, then liberal Republicans, then moderate Republicans, and now we're seeing uber-conservative hammerheads such as Bob Novak and Rich Lowry using the I-words: "inept" and "incompetent." Foreign heads of state have started to take potshots at Bush when he's standing right next to them, during photo ops.

It's as though we've reached a tipping point. Any day we're going to see Laura in an "I'm With Stupid" T-shirt.:spray:

You almost feel sorry for the guy, 'cause there's no indication this is going to get any better. In fact, it'll probably get worse, and the heat is liable to come from anywhere.

1. I'll say this about him---he stands his stupid effing ground and
seems untroubled about how much he is despised, and how stupid and failing he is.

2. Standing one's ground is not necessarily a GOOD thing ...
Just ask General Custer.

3. Feel sorry for Bush?
Sorry, but my well of sympathy is pretty well used up on Bush's victims that once I get to the author of all this chaos, misery, suffering and death, I just don't have the reserves to feel sorry for Bush.
