We went out to eat tonight at one of our favorite restaurants in Deale,
and I struck up a conversation with three folks in the bar. One
mentioned that he really was distressed by Bush, and it pained him,
because he was a conservative Republican, had always voted Republican,
but was going to vote for a Democrat next fall, unless Howard Dean won
the nomination.

Why is that, I asked?

Because Bush has single-handedly ruined our relationships with countries
all over the world and...and I just loved this coming from a Republican
conservative..."he seems to lie an awful lot."

Made my night. Even more than the extra two hours we spent at the
restaurant because we locked our keys inside the car. Don't ask.

Oh, hell, it keeps getting worse and worse. In 2000, when Bush was
stumping, a local interviewer asked him (and I heard the soundtrack)
"what will you do about Taiwan wanting China to give them freedom to
govern themselves?" And Bush's reply was, basically, we are friends in
trade with Taiwan, and we WILL help defend them. Well, now, if you
notice, he has turned a full 180, telling Taiwan to lay off of China.
Wonder how much promise of revenue it took for him to do that?
