Trashing the Reagans, targeting Bush

How about Rosie O'Donuts

Actually, the thought did cross my mind. Might be the perfect match, though she'd be a little old for the part. She has the girth, though, that's for sure.

"pretty common to blame others"

For the liberals it's not just "common" it's their usual tactic. It's a psychological condition called "projection". What the person does by using projection is accuse others of what they are doing themselves.

Everything the dems accuse Bush of doing is really a confession of what the dems are actually doing. If you just go back and look at all the things the dems accused Bush of during the 2000 campaign, you will see an amazing display of projection.

Yes, exactly, as a psychologist, I know quite a bit about projection, and you're exactly right. In fact, earlier today, there was a post pointing out how the the Democratic candidates, as of late, have been moaning about Bush accusing them of being unpatriotic, when he never has said this. On the other hand, just about every Democrat candidate has explicitly accused Bush of a lack of patriotism! Blatant projection. Nice article, too, but I can't remember the title.

A better source would have been Reagan: A Life in Letters, a remarkable book published this year containing 834 pages of mostly hand-written letters by Ronald Wilson Reagan.

Bravo. I'm getting this for Christmas. Is it o.k. to say, "Christmas", or is it "Sparkle Season"? ;)

I learned this projection thing first hand; former spouse.
