It’s funny how protective you seem to be of Bush Curzon. I could be wrong cause I’m just the occasional lurker, but Bush falling off his bike again is a funny story. Who cares if the headline pokes a little fun? I doubt you’re panties are in a bunch, but you seem to be overeacting a bit.

No, but I think they should be allowed to show a sense of humor, especially in the headline.

Matt: I fear you’re misreading the point. Bush as the subject is irrelevant, albeit a rather amusing and entirely irrelevant piece of news. I’m talking more about the media and the inability of many publications to include “just the facts.” Most papers are subtly putting in a message, and I think it’s pretty insidious.

Although I would consider myself a supporter of Mr. Bush and a nominal Republican, I’m no sycophant.

On a normal day, I’d find plenty to criticize in Mr. Bush’s policies. But as extremists frame the debate so far to the left with arguments like “the Iraq war is about oil and fighting Daddy’s war,”Â? and other nonsense such as “Guantanamo is the gulag of our time,”Â? I find it hard to get to my criticism.

It seems that Bush-haters just can’t find any way to respect GW as a man.

Thank you for articulating that much better than I. Indeed, the Right HATES its enemies while the Left RIDICULES its enemies.

Understandably, due to space limitations on headlines it was shortened but the literal English translation is just too funny. What’s your take on the slant of calling him, “Bush of the Bicycle?”

“Well, his grammar is atrocious, he’s a failed businessman, and he doesn’t seem to read anything”

heirabbit, I don’t see what thats got to do with anything. And although you seem to think that any support of any elected leader is partisanship, I think it has more to do with fairness.

I’m not a Democrat and wasnt crazy about Clinton, but I thought that alot of the hatred of him was over the top and ridiculous, just as some of the hatred of Hillary is (she’s being criticized severely for knowing about and not stopping Bill’s philandering). In the same way, I find it offensive that so many call him a moron and show not the slightest amount of respect for someone who is the elected leader of the country.

I don’t believe that anyone who becomes the leader of any country is stupid. They may have many faults, but stupidity is not one of them-at least I certainly can’t think of any world leader I would call stupid.
