Bush's followers have upheld the fact that he went to prestigious schools like Andover, Yale, and Harvard -- they've gone on and on about how particular he is regarding his staff, demanding they be on time and accountable -- and how professional and businesslike he is!

But as soon as trouble surfaces, they throw up all sorts of excuses. Oh, someone else got the facts wrong. Someone else disappointed Our President (shame on them, slap-slap!). And how dare those heartless liberals make fun of someone who's not very swift and has a learning disability.

I'm getting tired of Republican leaders (Reagan and both the Bushes) who pick and choose like this. If they run for the presidency, they had better expect to be held to a pretty high standard of competence and responsibility. If they slam everyone else for being unethical or confused, why should they expect to be forgiven?
