On what specifically?  Because I think my viewpoints are often miscategorized as an apologist for Bush - which is certainly not true (I never voted for the fool).

I took issue with 'tax cuts for the rich' because its a gross exaggeration.  I took issue with punative marginal tax rates because it inhibits growth.  But what seems to be forgotten is that I allowed for an increase in taxes for the 'rich', I acknowledged that the 'rich' can play games with income (but we have no idea how much/little its affect is).  I also acknowledge that Bush said something extremely stupid, again.

Carry on with the effigy, you won't see me standing in the way.

I actually watched the bulk of the interview, and this wasn't even one of the highlights.

The man is deranged, or at least in the middle of a lifelong dissociative episode.

Of course, it was Faux, and even the Shrub was a little put off by some of the typical Faux 'Questions':

'Mr President, what do you say to all the Democrats who hate America?'

The clinical term is cognitive dissonance, and I'm absolutely positively convinced he suffers from this.  I'd stake my professional reputation on it.  Go check Teh Google and you'll see.

If this were back in Lincoln's time, we'd explain it all away by saying Bush is prone to visitation by spirits.

Yes!???  You guys are nuts  :watchingyou:.  So angry about the 'rich' that you cannot see the forest for the trees.  I can only imaging the potential growth we wasted with that, but then we thought we had war debt to pay off.

And it was on considerably more income though - while the top marginal rate did come down again, so did the point at which you entered it.
