25. But what I DON't forgive about this and the press is...
two things that are linked
During the campaign the "hilarious" story about his response to a mild criticism of a speech (apparently Pickles didn't think it was "one of his best") sent him through the back wall of the garage in his car with Pickles in the front seat. Nice. It was disgusting how that was repeated as somehow showing something *good* about him---oh and Ma Bush too. Seems she told Pickles that Junior didn't like to be criticized. He could have killed them both, obviously has temper problems and that was supposed to "endear" him to us all? Frankly, it made me wonder what sorts of maniacs and battered women made up his "base"

But, that links to the main issue. It is one thing if Bush* got a pass from corporate news on the editorial side. But, these newspimps PROMOTE the "wonderful guy" persona. It would be one thing if they didn't go out of their way to reinforce the idea that he's a prince among men but they do that all the time.

I believe that they all dream of the "tell all" book someday that details what a drunken maniace *they* all knew he was. I'm not interested in buying it. It will be too damn late then.
