Interpreting Bush - the Inkblot Test
Right wingers interpret Bush the way respondents interpreted Rorschach's famous ink blots. When Bush is merely lazy, right wingers see circumspection. When he's merely stubborn, they see determination.

For example, take the latest spin on his delay in responding to the tragedy in Asia - it took three days because he wanted to make sure the aid went to the right people. What bullshit! The real reason is that he didn't think the death of non-whites thousands of miles away was worth disturbing his vacation.

1. Amen
Only Bush could delay aid to millions of homeless, injured, and simply those in need. He's been doing it here in the U.S. for the past 4 years, that would make him an expert in my book.

2. I thought it was four days?
The Tsunami hit on Sunday, Bush didn't make any public comment until Thursday. Is that right? Did he say anything on Wednesday?

5. I don't know
I mean nice shiney toaster like that with four slots, well yeah of course that would be a better president. But what if it was an older model, not quite as sleek and shiney, with like only two slots? Would that really be a better President?
