How About Them Kneepads?

The Wall Street Journal’s Paul Gigot has just been to see Jesus, er, George W. Bush, and the experience has been  religious for him.

This is the fourth time I’ve interviewed Mr. Bush at length in the last eight years, going back to his time as Texas governor. One of the notable things about him is how similar he seems. He has always been supremely confident in his decisions and focused above all else on pushing forward, not looking back. If he is tortured by doubt, he doesn’t show it to journalists. Some see this as obstinance, but he sees it as firmness of conviction.

The cult of Bush marches on, never quibbling with the facts, always ready to discard truth in favor of religious fervor. The only question Gigot really needed to ask was "my place, or yours?"

    “We’re like, uhh, intelligent leftists.”

    But we should happily swallow your apple cheeked arguments of “Not. One. Documented. Lie” and that The Decider continues to do a kick ass job?

    Please, Dugger, by all means, redirect us to your far more intelligent, insightful, informative blog. Please.

    Yeah, Dugger, you used to be so much more cuttng edge when you ended all your posts with your nomenclature followed by a terse statemnt describing your “shorter self”. Pretty avant-garde for a conservative, I always thought.
