The great communicator vs the grating crackhead
Pickles Stepford leaves kitchen long enough to prop up smirking moron.

Bush hawks were visibly relieved to be on TV answering questions that had nothing to do with prison torture, phantom WMD or our new CIA-operative-turned-prime-minister in Iraq.

The Bush crowd's attempt to wrap themselves in Reagan could go only so far. While W talks the optimistic talk, he doesn't walk the walk. While Laura Bush and Donald Rumsfeld shared memories of fathers who had suffered from Alzheimer's, Mrs. Bush said she could not support Mrs. Reagan's plea to remove the absurd and suffocating restrictions on stem cell research.

Whether he was right or wrong, Ronald Reagan was exhilarating. Whether he is right or wrong, George W. Bush is a bummer.
