Oh yeah? Thanks for the info - I didn't realize that.
Based upon the quotes posted here by sinkspur, I'd have to say it was used in the metaphorical sense. Perhaps these folks heard "evil" and directly attached it to Bush, when in fact it was not used in that sense.
Understandable, given the poor choice of phrase on Keyes' part. "Evil" isn't a word to be tossed about lightly.
I say this is a decision where somebody sat down to figure out how much evil they could get away with
I don't want to get into a big argument about this, and I'm certainly not accusing you of this, but do you realize that every single time something like this has happened -- the "bullet" and "evil" things and many others -- somebody is always on these threads explaining to us how WE misunderstood what Keyes said; why we've even been told that he is so much more brillant than anybody else, it's no wonder we don't understand.
If he's so smart, why does it take legions of people to explain what he "really meant?"
And how on earth will he explain himself to the people in Mr. Daley's projects?
