...and the reason is that this evil nitwit of a president has benefited from the most sycophantic, disgusting excuse for a press corps(e) in this country that one can ever imagine. So someone who has lived through the horrors brought to Iraq by Mr. Bush shows his *humanity* by finally losing it when Bush goes on about the wonderful benefits he has bestowed upon Iraqi society.

Normally I could see your point. In this case, I think that his symbolic act was the best thing he could have possibly done. The fact that he was overcome and did it in the heat of the moment makes it better, not worse.

Good for him.

And normally I would not say that, and it is not just irrational Bush-hatred speaking. No, a symbolic act like this is a fitting end to Bush's "Legacy Tour" -- it will forever be embedded in the history of his regime, a grace note as his horrid symphony thuds to a close.
