[journalist3072]

2. No way! Did he really? Please explain.

What context was it in? Did he make a freudian slip? Was it purposeful?

Details!!

[MrSlayer]

4. Yeah, he did.

"He's the rebel President, an insurgent if you will." Something to that effect anyway.

14. So very true!!! n/t

[Straight Shooter]

6. Referred to him as an "activist," too.

All the nasty Repub buzzwords that they use against everyone else.

[Bozita]

8. Yup, an activist who despises judges who legislate from the bench

Is this remote self-hatred?

[Sydnie]

10. He really did, didn't he?

If I recall correctly, he started his book tour the night he appeared on The Daily Show. Seems to have learned a few tricks about promoting this book since then.

7. Yes, Bush is a rebel

He rebels against reason, standards of decency, the people of this country, and the Constitution of the United States of America.

Commodus was a rebel, too. History regards him unkindly.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

11. Not so much rebellious as revolting.

[txindy]

12. I've always found him so.

Utterly revolting.

[The Traveler]

13. I see you get my point in its entirety (n/t)

15. Either Barnes was completely wigged out on BushBot KooLaid

Or, the it's a Republican plot to give the Republican party an out to disconnect themselves from George W. Bush. So, the Republicans can later say, 'well he didn't really represent what we stand for, so don't hold him against all of us.'
