Where do I mention Bush?

Could you be more disingenous? That was quite obviously a reference to President Bush, and it is unflattering to pretend now that it wasn't. What do you gain by denying it now?

Heavy sigh...Let me try to explain this so you can understand.

Much has been made Keyes/Kristol being college roomates for a long time now on FR, as well as on the thread in which I finally responded to this issue.

Now I find the fact that they were roomates way back in college irrelevant. To illustrate my point,and to silence this issue once and for all I wanted to point out that if people want to go there...that is, if people are going to make an issue out of what Keyes "did" in college or whom he had for a roomate, then by that standard, all politicians should have their college days held up to scrutiny. Follow so far?

Now it struck me as odd that the people who have been constantly bringing this up support a politician who has done some questionable things in his college days. If you're living in a glass house, don't throw stones!

Now I could have posted, "Oh yeah, well your guy,(insert name), was a drunk who was a member of Skull & Bones blah blah blah..." But instead, without mentioning his name I tactfully reminded them that while it is true Keyes had Kristol as a roomate in college, other people were heavy drinkers, partyers and members of secret societies.

Now I would think the wise response would be silence--they knew what I was talking about so let's just drop this whole silly issue. But instead, some people had to publicly proclaim, "We all know you're talking about Bush!" Now if I were Bush, I would be thinking to myself, "Gee thanks guys!"

Again, I think the whole issue of Keyes/Kristol is as relevant as Bush's college drinking--COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT!

Again it seems as if some Bush supporters here can dish it out but can't take it. Keyes' college roomate is fair game, but anything about Bush is a personal attack, even when his name is not mentioned.
