“It’s quite reasonable to conclude that Bush will harm the nation more — if not more than Bin Laden would like to, than more than he actually can.” —
Sure, Bin Laden might want to set off nukes all across the United States and kill tens of millions of Americans in a nuclear holocaust and there’s always the threat of another 9/11, but Bush is in favor of tax cuts and democracy in Iraq — and worse yet, he’s keeping the politicians Johnathan Chait likes out of power. So, that makes him worse than Bin Laden.
It really makes you wonder if guys like Chait ever actually talk to other human beings who aren’t also rabid liberals. Do they ever, let’s say, ask their non-political barber whether he hates Bush? Do they ask their non-political friends if they think Bush is worse than Bin Laden?
If Chait and Company actually did that and saw the reactions on people’s faces, I sincerely doubt if they’d continue these obnoxious and insanely over-the-top attacks on Bush.
