No, but the accolades could have been a bit more moderate.

Remember, this comes on the heels of the "God Bless Arafat" episode...

This kind of crap makes me think real hard about whether or not we are living in a one-party State.

IIRC, the President said "God bless his soul." That short statement spoke volumns about President Bush's feelings toward the terrorist.

I didn't ever hear the "God bless Arafat" comment. Not saying he didn't say it, but the comment I heard the Pres. make about Arafat was, "May God have mercy on his soul." Left unsaid, "which is going to hell for all eternity."

I can't remember something that was never said.

I deal with facts, and what he in fact said, when told during a live press conference that Arafat had died (he hadn't, it turned out), was "God bless his soul".

Perceptive people correctly interpreted this as in the same vein as a judge saying to a condemned man "May God have mercy on your soul".

Get a grip.
