I have to hand it to Bush: He actually won the election this time. That's progress for you. Now, only two days later he's calling his win a "mandate." Hmmm... Maybe, kinda, sorta, but not really. It takes me back to 2000 when, in the aftermath of that mess, Bush supporters were calling that outcome a mandate. The irony seemed unintentional to me. My recommendation: These people should use some of the money from their upcoming tax relief to buy themselves a good dictionary.
