The president responded with a non sequitur.

"We had an accountability moment," he said, "and that’s called the 2004 elections. The American people listened to different assessments made about what was taking place in Iraq, and they looked at the two candidates, and chose me."

Louis XIV, 17th century king of France, put it more succinctly: "L’etat, c’est moi." (I am the state.) But I digress, and somewhat predictably.

My inability to apprehend Bush’s famous charm, much less his alleged humility, guarantees a slew of even more predictable e-mails from furious supporters informing me that I’m twisted with unreasoning hatred for this fine, Christian leader.

1. Thanks
I let someone else read my Democrat-Gazette, so it's nice to be able to save his articles on my PC
