34. That he claimed to have 'trusted Bush'

Sun Jan 1, 2012, 12:16 PM

Jan 2012

is kind of a red flag.

I mean, really? I was nowhere near as involved in politics in 2000 as I am now, but after the Florida fiasco ... trust Bush??? No way in hell. And I would expect someone who was supposedly tied in, to know better.

No, after 12/12/2000, it was not ok for anyone to trust Bush.
