[http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20021126/ap\_on\_re\_ca/canada\_bush\_moron\_4](http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20021126/ap_on_re_ca/canada_bush_moron_4) It was just yesterday on Crossfire when Rob Novak flamed the hell out of Ducros for calling President Bush a moron. Now she resigned! What a crock of shit, she didn’t deserve that. Most politicians in the world feel the same way, they just aren’t caught saying it by a reporter. ---

I wonder if George Bush knows about her comment and if so, what he had to say about that. ---

Most politicians in the world feel the same way, they just aren’t caught saying it by a reporter. \*\* She’s responsible for her own actions. She should’ve expected that she’d get flak. She also chose to resign on her own admission. I have no sympathy. ---

If you’re truly outraged, you might want to express yourself in the **Pit** thread: [I am filled with rage](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=146477). However, you may also want to consider a couple of points that [I raised, there](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2640112#post2640112), (or not). ---

Ditto for me, who doesn’t appreciate CNN’s treatment one bit. [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=146473](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=146473)
