I saw Bush the other day nearly get "clocked" with a baseball. It looked like he asked the catcher if he was all right, that kind of endeared me to him, in that he came off as human. I'd like to think that in privet he's like the characture portrayed in the second Harold and Kumar movie, maybe a bit genuinly stupid but actually good hearted and laid back, the far right wing religious nut being just an act for his voters, which I really wouldn't begrudge him.

I always like to try to separate the politics from the person regarding how I see them. People so often bring the politics into play when judging a person's overall intentions. It's so interesting to see how quickly a person will flock to the defense towards personal attacks against someone whose politics agree with them just to jump on the bandwagon of personal attacks against one that doesn't, and almost without exception. (The death of UBL and the political back-and-forth rings freshly familiar here.)
