Because We Should, We Can, We Do

Gee ... Thanks

I guess we're all really really lucky:
Here's the text of Bush's Saturday radio address: "Whatever your opinion of the outcome, all Americans can take pride in the example our democracy sets for the world by holding elections even in a time of war."

Steve Benen blogs: "We should be 'proud' that the federal government didn't cancel our elections? That the Bush administration didn't use the war as an excuse to interrupt the democratic process? . . .

"[T]his seems to have 'soft bigotry of low expectations' written all over it."
This is one of those either/or situations. Either Bush was "inartful" in his phrasing which (again .... still) shows what an idiot he is, or there were serious considerations to cancel elections due to the war. For normal people, I would give the benefit of the doubt.

For Bush?

I. Just. Don't. Know.
