Yes I did. I've read every column he's written, which is why I know this one was out of character. For those who don't know, his daughter and three grandchildren were killed in a car wreck a year ago last week. If you were such a longtime reader of Capitol Hill Blue, you would know that.
He isn't the only person, to have ever lost loved ones in a tragic accident. President Bush was NOT responsible for his family being killed. I don't care what kind of horrible thing happens to one's loved ones, it doesn't give anyone an " out " for writing something vile . If that were the case, then anyone , who has ever suffered a tragic loss,of any kind, would be able to do something nasty / malicious on the anniversary of that, and not be called on the carpet for it. That's NOT reality; it's juvenile dementia.
I am sorry about his loss. I just won't cut him any slack on his stupid ( if it is that ) behavior. No one would do that , if you or I did something equally repugnant and then attempted to weasle out of it with a childish nonapology.
BTW, look at my sign up date and know that I was a lurker for almost a year before that. I am NOT some newbie, who doesn't know what's what.
And it was George Bush who arranged for it to happen. (/sarcasm
