that got the Bush cheats into this mess in the first place.

Anyone who disagrees with them about the slightest thing is (1) trying to get attention; (2) a liar; (3) incompetent; (4) taking advantage of the Bushies or the situation; (5) trying to get attention; (6) in it for the money; (7) a partisan Democrat; (8) out to hurt Bush; (9) cowardly; (10) soft on terrorism; (11) disgruntled because he/she has been rejected by the Bushies; (12) trying to sell a book/get a job. It worked the first couple of times, but now, it's so predictable that we laugh at it. So many people from Paul O'Neil to Scott Ritter to Richard Clarke to John Kerry have been characterized in exactly this way. We just dismiss it as the Bushie style -- just the way the Bushies cope with the unpleasant and inconvenient aspects of reality -- how they avoid dealing with the fact that they are in way above their heads.

The Bushies tear down anyone who is stronger or worthier or even just more competent than they are. It's much easier for them to do that than to admit the truth -- that they are the incompetent ones, that they are taking advantage.
