Easy, Bill... Remember:
1. It's a New York Times article; they'd love to foment a schism in our ranks. Read the actual quotes from the Republicans. The NY Times is purposely adding tone to them to make them sound like more of a slap down of the right wing.
2. It's good to remind Bush to dance with the girl he brung, but you're getting all upset because a girl who hates us is telling us he's been eyeing someone else. Make clear he knows you won't put up with his cheating, but save your outrage for when he does something wrong. IOW, wait till he's been unfaithful before your dump him.
Hehe. Okay.
Perhaps I do tend to over react when it seems that someone is telling me to stand in a striaght line. 8^)
I certainly hope for the best.
That "girl who hates us" analogy was pretty good. - I'm going to use it in the future.
