I don't think sweeping collective stereotypes advance understanding or debate and only provoke unproductive name calling. This thread explored whether Bush had caved to the Muslim position that identifying their "religion" with terrorism was an unfair indictment of Islam. That seems a narrow enough issue to escape generalized stereotypes even if one thinks Bush in general is not a brilliant president and blunders more than he should or has squandered Republican political capital for no good reason. On this issue it seems clear enough to me that he has caved to a bunch of muslims who purposefully refuse to rationally address the problem their fellow muslims have brought upon us all and he deserves to be chastised for it. If one assesses each Bush action individually and on balance finds him severely lacking does that make one a "professional political bitch" regardless of one's gender?

You keep trying to redefine the term so that it only applies to one's feelings about President Bush. I've already rejected that, and I reject it again.
