[Joe Bonforte]

For the Bush haters: "I resolve not to (1) maintain that Bush is an evil genius in one sentence, and then (2) call him an illiterate moron in the next sentence. I will decide which of these characterizations I believe, and stick with it, because supporting both of them makes me looks like I have no brains."

I have one brother-in-law who still can't get past the "Bush is an idiot" stage. He firmly believes that everything Dubya does is scripted by Rove and co. and thoroughly rehearsed. I refrained from my usual holiday argument with him, because I prefer Dems like him to remain in their state of miserable ignorance. I know that deep inside their guts are churning at the prospect of getting killed at the polls in 2004.
