I agree with the article but I don't like the term "Bushies."

Are you saying Bush isn't responsible for what his own State Department says?

Not at all. What I'm saying is that this editorial is close to the level of Whoopie Goldberg in calling the Bush administration, "the Bushies." It's a rude comment.

Read #6. It was a state department functionary responding to a question. The whole thing was overblown by Reuters and the NYT and NYP bit on it.

I have never heard a State Dept say "the HOLY Bible" and I will bet you never ever hear that expression from Rice in her official capacity.

I have heard both the State Dept spokesman and Rice refer to "the HOLY Koran"
