Wow. In intra-party Washingtonspeak, this is about as close as it gets to giving someone the middle finger.
I wonder what old man Poppy is thinking right about now. It may be an uncomfortable family Christmas.

Oh, I don't know. Poppy's a pretty good fella. Here's my family scene:
Poppy: "Son, I'm sorry. I didn't realize Baker was such a d*ck."
Dubya: "That's all right, pop. Say, you can make it up to me, though. Disown my brother Bill, and we'll call it even!"
You know, I think "old man poppy" has been deeply hurt by his "friends" in Washington over this entire thing. I base that on his emotional break during the speech in Florida.
There is no doubt in my mind who he backs in this. And it isn't his old friend Baker. And it isn't John McCain who started this entire analytical idiocy.
