This is such a nasty article that there are many things to comment upon.

I will choose one.

President Bush did not "insist" upon being center-stage at the Olympics. As head of state of the host country, it was his DUTY to open the games!

This guy who wrote this is a jerk.

What exactly is this guy's complaint anyway? The fact that Bush likes baseball and is physically fit? I don't get it...

I really wish these people could decide on a story and stick to it; first he is too stupid to get out of bed; next, he is so crafty and cunning, he is going to take over the world; next, he is too stupid to pronounce big words; next, he is so sly, he was pulling the wool over everyone's eyes with complex business dealings; next, he is the goofy frat-boy, not ready for complex issues; now, he is the elitist, trying to make himself seem one of the guys.

"Back in the '60s, the simple notion of selling presidential candidates the way you would sell soap struck many as surprising. Then Joe McGinniss published "The Selling of the President 1968." Soon the idea was accepted as a commonplace."

and perceived as truth by some, I might add. Too bad this guy missed the wood cutting, sweat, and blood from the other day.

Go ahead call me a Rat again. Ever see Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

You know it alwasy makes me wonder how they talk about Bush being RICH and his "daddy" being rich. So what? The Senior Kennedy was rich too. He was "daddy" to Jack, Bobby and Teddy? So what? Clintons are rich. Jesse Jackson is rich. Gore is rich. so what???? If the other side is gonna knock the rich they need to start with their own crowd first.

I agree.

And, what was THIS snotty little thing for: "(a comic physical presence, some would say)?"
