    I say let them speak their minds

    Then everyone will see how absolutely nuts all of them are. No more shock and incredulous indignation at Bush when he says that he supports Gonzo even more after Gonzo's pitiful testimony! Bush is either (a) really that stupid, in which case, he's not fit to run the country, or (b) deceitful, cynical, towing the party line and the 11th commandment to the bitter end, in which case he's also not fit to run the country, because he's more interested in never admitting wrongs than the interests of his employers, the stockholders, the American people.

    Either way, most people have lost any confidence in him already, and the more he and his faithful talk on TV, in Congress, etc., the more they dig themselves into an ever-increasing credibility hole. You know this is true when conservative Republicans want Gonzo to step down and shut up. You know why they want it -- it hurts them. You also know this is true by the poll numbers on the war -- no one believes Bush anymore on anything.

    So, just keep on talkin, Team Bush. The world appreciates it.
