So it’s OK to sell out your principles when a crisis hits? A crisis reveals character. When the economic crisis hit, Bush was exposed to being only slightly to the right of Hugo Chavez.

Useful idiots. A phrase once used for communist sympathizers, but I feel like a useful idiot for having voted for Bush.
