I took extreme exception with his chumming up with Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton. The whole “No Child Left Behind” endeavor, his refusal to stick up for Scooter Libby, his stance on immigration, and his persistent refusal to stand up for himself and let himself be a passive punching bag for the left were things that infuriated me.

That, and “Teachable Moment”.
A pox on all sanctimonious pieces of crap.
