Why so whiny lately, **Shodan**? I mean, you’re spewing needling and petty little barbs and complaints all over the place here even more than usual. Something wrong, or are you just bitter about Bush’s poll numbers or his incompetence laid bare? ---

Before your post, Bush was mentioned exactly once in this thread. And here’s what was said: > [@World Eater](#): > > Yeah, I think the crux of it, is our “me me me” society is reflected on a macro scale as “party before country”. I see it on both sides, but honestly I see it on the right more. Perhaps because they’re in power at the moment on currently “on defense”, but I would expect the same thing on the other side. I also think that **Bush** on his own is the most damaging pres to come down the pike. We could have anyone else in office, repub or dem, and I think we’d be a lot better off. Not exactly a “_tu quoque_ about Bush.” In fact, **World Eater** was conceding that, despite his dislike for Bush, he also dislikes the “party before country” attitude of both Democrats and Republicans. As for attacks on the OP for bringing it up, are you on crack or something? The only attacks on the OP in this thread have not been about the subject of the OP, but have been as a result of his asinine _non sequitur_ about the left. ---

My intent with post #22 was to deliver a humorous poke at the left regarding their propensity for dogpiles on politicians who represent the GOP. After reflection, I can see how the words I posted were beyond what a reader could be reasonably expected to recognize as having a humorous tone, and for that I apologize to all who were offended. ---

I appreciate the effort it took to make this apology. Thanks for that. Sorry for my heated words in response. ---
