You know, if I had to sit down next to someone and have a beer with them, I'd rather sit down with someone who gets angry at the right things, than some glad-handing creep who blew up frogs with firecrackers as a child like Bush did.

Incidentally, I can't understand (ha) why Kristof's story (as above) on Bush torturing small animals as a child didn't get more traction, or any traction. It seems like one of those "character" issues the SCLM is so fond of. And Kristof is in the heart of the SCLM, and the Times is at the heart of CW. And Kristof goes to a childhood friend of Bush's, who casually mentions in the course of the interview that he and Bush used to blow up frogs with firecrackers. And then the story just dies.

Now, I don't know about you, but if I caught my neighbor's child torturing an animal, I'd try to get help for the child, and I'd really wonder about that child's family, since torturing small animals (like setting fires) is a sign of deep, deep emotional and psychological distress—way beyond anger.

So here we have our SCLM wringing their hands about Dean's temperament, when all the time, right out in the open, printed in their very own pages, we have a good indicator that Bush is... well, crazier than a bedbug, and not in a good way. (See previous posts).

No wonder they're afraid of him...
