Indeed. I have been saying for a quite a while now that Bush is the lefts Moby Dick. Captain Ahab was even warned by prophecy that his mad vengeance would end in disaster. But he did not listen. And neither does the left. They are too far gone for that now. Hatred is all thats left.

"All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all
truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all
the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil, to crazy Ahab, were
visibly personified, and made practically assailable in Moby Dick. He piled
upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by
his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he
burst his hot heart's shell upon it."

From Hell's heart I stab at thee. For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee!
