Does the Name Carter suggest anything? I did say that I didn’t know if the article was true or not, however, your equivocating about the fact you think it is ok for Bush to bad mouth Palin but not Bozo just proves my point. You are obviously a Bush supporter, one who is blind to the many faults the guy has and which made him, not a great President but a mediocre one, one who made many mistakes, the main one being failure to bad mouth his political opponents regardless of how much they bad mouthed him. Not fighting back and keeping quiet about evil men is the best way to lose any freedom we might still have.
Sure it would be OK. The point about Presidents not saying bad things about other Presidents applies to PResidents. If Palin wins, then he wouldn’t say bad things about her because she’d be a President.
Bush shouldn’t “bad-mouth” Palin, and there’s no real evidence he did, but the reason for not doing so is entirely different than the reason he won’t say bad things about the current President, even though the current President doesn’t follow the courtesy that most every President has followed.
