Well, David Limbaugh has chimed in again on Bush-hating. Apparently it’s bad. People going around, beating up innocent bushes. Yanking them out of the ground. But that’s not really happening. What’s happening is that President Bush is being criticized.
This goes to an editorial by Jonathan Chait, an editor for the New Republic, who admitted he hated President Bush (I'd link to the article, but you have to pay to read it). And conveniently enough for Mr. Limbaugh, if you describe one liberal, you’ve described them all.
He slams into Senator Kennedy on these grounds. “Divisive, as in reaching out to his opponents like Ted Kennedy only to be rebuffed, betrayed and castigated in return? These aren't my opinions alone. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported on Kennedy's "anger." Despite Bush's cordiality toward Kennedy, the Massachusetts senator gives him back nothing but epithets, calling him a liar who has told "lie after lie after lie" about Iraq and charging Bush with consistently breaking his promises on education.
Can you believe this Kennedy guy? President Bush has thrown more federal money at education than any conservative can tolerate.” In case you don’t know, this is total crap. President Bush only promised to spend more money on education than any conservative can tolerate. When it came time to actually allocate the money, he starved his own No Child Left Behind program. This is one of the reasons Senator Kennedy is angry with the President. Pretty damn good reason I’d say.
At any rate, this is the weakness of the Conservative position these days. We invaded Iraq on false pretenses (which your humble narrator bought, I must admit), and now we are there with no exit strategy. Republicans aren’t enthusiastic about defending this state of affairs so instead they are simply attacking Liberals as Bush Haters.
