The fascinating phenomenon of Bush hatred
Great post here in Stones Cry Out about one of the most distinguishing characteristics of President Bush's opponents from the day he was elected until now: their malice.
There is a great difference between "Bush made a mistake," and even "Bush made a really dumb mistake," on one hand, and "Bush lied" on the other. It says a great deal more about the President's opponents than about the President that wherever the Administration can be seen to have blown it, those opponents do not merely assume the latter explanation.
They patently prefer it. And as the Eighth Commandment makes clear, that is in itself a significant moral failing.
