Say, Are We United Yet, Or Are We Still Divided?
Just asking.
Republicans will say it's all that fevered Bush-hating that's keeping us divided.
We need to build a case against that claim, a case that Americans in the middle will recognize instantly as the truth, that George W. Bush is the most divisive President in modern American history.
And when Republicans come back with the retort that Lincoln was a pretty divisive President, too, we will remind the rest of America that Lincoln fought a war to unite the country into one again, and that what most of Bush's Judicial nominees seem to want to do is open up the old wounds of division by rolling back the very notion of Judicial review, not to mention that of a strong central government.
As you can see, I was so entranced by Lambert's formula for asking embarrassing questions, for George Bush and friends, I couldn't wait to join the party.
