I am reminded of two different people in that clip. The artful dodging of questions and responding with questions reminded me of Bill Clinton. Clinton had a way of manipulating lines of questioning to gradually turn the interview into his favor.

Later in the interview, when he realized he couldn't dance the whole time, (Not that the reporter is really hitting hard) he seemed to turn into Donald Rumsfeld, answering with the obvious answers, to make the questioner appear to be foolish for asking such an insipid inquiry.

Interesting the statement, "Let 'em bleed," in reference to bleeding hearts. No pandering, I like that at the very least.

Clips of Bush don't make me laugh anymore. It's not that we don't have a sense of humor, but I think we take ridicule of him as ridicule of us by extension.

Additionally, it's just gotten old. We KNOW already. We get it. To keep brow-beating us with it is pointless. I'm not singling you out necessarily, but all the Bush-bashers out there who Bush-bash just to bash Bush and offer no solutions.

Bush is letting a lot of people down with his rampant spending, obvious oil interests, and just leaving the back door open between Mexico and the US. Many of us are already off the bandwagon, so I don't really know who's left holding the Republican Kool-Aid anymore. Since we are in agreement, it ceases to be funny, and turns into high-fiving and backslapping. He's a soft target, and those kind of things are asinine at this point.

This is the point I've gotten to. I'm no fan of Bush, but the bashing has gotten beyond old and really serves no purpose but to demean and incite his supporters to anger. Beyond that, I don't think Christ would applaud us tearing a man in a leadership down the way the Bush bashers do.
