What choice did Rock have, Tamar, it was Bush or McCain in the primary, and then it was Bush or Gore, then Bush or Kerry.

He's still slightly better than all those three, just not as was advertised. However he NEVER impressed me.

Who's pinning anything on Rock?! I said "we" should have known what we were getting ourselves into by not letting either of them get that far in the primary race in the first place.

An online political pundit Thomas Clough wrote an article some time ago about Bush and the corn/ethanol lobby. I have excerpted the last paragraph of that essay below. Says it all.

Somehow George Bush has convinced a lot of people that his odd brand of magical thinking is tough-minded and realistic. Perhaps it was all those side-by-side comparisons with the even-more-confused Al Gore and John Kerry that gave the American people that false impression. The only good reason to vote Bush into the office of chief executive was to keep the likes of Gore and Kerry away from the levers of power. As spendthrift as George Bush has been, Kerry would have been even more lavish. There is some hope that Bush will promote judges who have a deeper commitment to limited government than Bush himself has. The undiminished optimism of our former cheerleader turned Cheerleader-in-Chief may yet lead us into disaster. Two more years of magical thinking is a long time to go without a serious stumble.
