"In the opinion of Counterjab, it’s high time that Bush sobered up and acted responsibly in protecting the American people."

Ok, you think it is JUST sarcastic against his immigration polices.

Well, MUD.... that little jab about "sobbering up" is not sarcastic against his policies it IS sarcastic against him ... a man who quit drinking long ago and is QUITE SOBER now.

I like satire when it's fair. That "sobbering up" comment was unfair and unnecessary in the context of the piece.

You may knock his immigration policies... and by the way, I do not like all his policies on it at all... but I do not knock a man for his well known success in giving up the booze. Bush has sobbered up. THANK GOD!

"sobbering up"

You know there is a spell-check on the comments page and I'm on my third vodka tonite. LOL

I missed the "sobered up" comment the first time thru...it's a low blow, but one I expect Dubyuh would almost be expected to self-deprecatingly make about himself. I guess I'm just sensitive about this Cult of Personality that sometimes gets built up around Dubyuh...the dude makes mistakes and it's wise of us to be there to point them out so that he can redirect his course. His non-amnesty Amnesty Policy with regards to illegal immigration is one such area where Dubyuh-supporters need to help Dubyuh change course. Satire is one arrow in our quiver fer accomplishing said goal.
