Well said, nick. I'll be stealing it and forwarding it to a couple critics.
No problem. There is a bit more than I posted. Maybe Bush can clear it up in the debates. If Kerry lasts to the debates and then is dumb enough to bring up this Michael Moore pablem.
Here is a short story I've posted before:
I have a friend that was on the security detail of someone who's name everyone would recognize. He has a friend that is a Secret Service agent and worked in the Clinton White House.
In briefings the Secret Service agent was told that it was OK to greet people passing his post. But to never ever say a word to one person in the White house. To act as if he never sees the person. Pretend the person is not there.
On his first day the agent was in a hallway in the White House when the person he was told not to recognize walked by his location. The young man could not help himself and he said to the person "Good Morning Ma'am". To which Hillary Clinton replied "$uck you!" and walked past without even looking at him.
