Afterall, the Clintons are both highly intelligent people capable of defending themselves. Picking on Dubya, on the otherhand, is like making fun of retarded children. We should be above that.
as to the BDS comment:
Is it too much to suggest that it's one thing for citizens to criticize public officials (it's part of the job) and another to insult people for holding public officials up for criticism?
George Bush is directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens. Seems to me if he's man enough for that, he should be man enough to stand up to criticism. After all, he's not putting himself "in harm's way" (you have no idea how much I have come to hate that phrase, along with so many others over the years).
If thinking critically about a man who's done that and so much more, and if daring to speak those criticisms aloud equals having "bush derangement syndrome" well I'm happy to have it. He's certainly worked overtime to push us all over the edge. Frankly, I think you'd have to be crazy not to be a little deranged by now.
