your quote of the day.

[phosfate]

Let's be honest: Thursday night Bush sounded like a kid reciting the high points of fourth grade, or a challenged patient graduating to a new level in some kind of mental health rehab institution. No one could watch that and not be shaken by it. I've had my political disagreements with my friend Chris Matthews, but he summed it up really well: It was an abomination, the depiction of a world of presidents in which "every kid gets a trophy who participates."

My mother, who was a hundred and fifty and a near-lifelong Republican, spent the last couple of years of her life shouting, "YOU BASTARD!" at the television whenever Bush appeared. There is no hate like old lady hate.
