The big story this morning is President Bush's remarks to the Israeli Knesset invoking the example of Hitler to warn against the appeasement of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In the opening segment, from Mika Brzezinski [subbing for Joe Scarborough and seen in file photo] to Willie Geist to Pat Buchanan to Mike Barnicle to David Shuster, nary a word in defense of Bush was heard, with Shuster twice referring to Bush's remarks as "grotesque." The only slight straying from Bush-bashing orthodoxy was Barnicle's observation that when he first heard of the remarks, he took them as aimed at Jimmy Carter, not Barack Obama.

For some crazy reason, Fox News is black on our cable this morning (Time Warner claims it’s a missing channel problem...whatever). So I thought I’d watch Morning Joe as I’ve heard it’s a good show. I was screaming after 30 seconds...the Bush bashing was out of control, especially from our buddy Pat.
Daughter!
“But simply talking to Hamas et al. and thinking that that will make them stop killing innocents and plotting to kill even more doesnt have a very a good track record.”
Agreed. I’m just saying that merely talking to someone is not appeasement. It’s not the same as telling Hitler he can have Austria.
You said it!!
