At least Bush's choice of tie wasn't a special message to Monica.

Bush would never be so disgusting.

I just thought it was silly for him to comment on the color of
Bush's tie and shirt and how it looked like the Israeli flag
when Clinton wore the same colors.

Thus the Washington Post and semioticians reveal themselves to be as irrelevant as broadcast news.

Bush has bamboozled the shrieking fairies of media, the castrati choir of euroweenies, the racist diktators of the UN, the miniature man-fly Vincent Price accidents of the American partisan WFW.

He's faked them out of their socks, drolled to Sharon "no problemo, amigo" and called out the bug-eyed toad.

While never raising his voice.

Professors discuss his tie while terrorists die.

get your dirty work done

Since when is saving Jewish lives dirty work ?
How is what Israeli forces are doing to the Islamic terrorists any different than what American forces are doing to Islamic terrorists ?

The new Bush doctrine seems to be he is the only leader with the right to fight the terrorists.

Israel is responding forcefully to terror as did U.S. forces in Afghanistan. I do not see Bush using the phrase "dirty work", only the two bloviators in the Washington Post article. Rousting the idiots touting Oslo-Wye-Tenet-Mitchell is hard work. Progress is being made.

Applied to itself, the American naivete of "balanced response" prolonged the poisonous scorpion Saddam Hussein. That his intelligence case officer met twice with Mohamed Atta is still lost on many in this country.

Arafat's Terror, Inc. is being destroyed, and Saddam's end is coming.

Israel and America are fighting the same war; some knew from 9/11, while the rest are learning.

"Topping tonight's news, the President's tie. It
has more people talking in Washington than if Fidel Castro
came loping through on the back of a hippopotamus."

Geez, could the reporter bloviate anymore?

So, how long have you subscribed to AWAD? Bloviate was the word of the day there not too long ago.

"I'm fascinated by Bush's tie," Berger said

Berger also mentioned his fascination for the Washington Monument, snakes, cigars, trains going into tunnels, and bodies of blue water.

I first saw the word about a decade ago - used correctly, of course - in a George Will column.

Decoding the Meaning In the Bush Message

How I long for a President that you don't have to "decode".

Or parse.

"Bloviate" has been around FR for four years or so ... if memory serves, Jonah Goldberg revived it in a National Review article amid the Impeachment.
