    "Bill. Read what you are writing. You're willing to insult a perfect stranger for the article they MIGHT have written in a different world with a more competent President."

    You miss my point. My point isn't that Bush is or is not a competent President. My point is that to some people like Madden, it doesn't matter what Bush does or doesn't do he is just automatically wrong.
