Apology From A Bush Voter
Who's Apologizing Now?
LA-based Radio Host Doug McIntyre is apologizing for voting for Bush! Is this true? Or just a "marketing" ploy to distinguish him from all the other rightie talkers?
Here's what Doug says on his website: "So, I’m saying today, I was wrong to have voted for George W. Bush. In historic terms, I believe George W. Bush is the worst two-term President in the history of the country. Worse than Grant. I also believe a case can be made that he’s the worst President, period." Whoa. As we've been reporting, the worm is definitely turning as the pendulum swings. Will the Dems be able to capitalize....?
Doug ends with this: So, accept my apology for allowing partisanship to blind me to an obvious truth; our President is incapable of the tasks he is charged with. I almost feel sorry for him. He is clearly in over his head. Yet, he doesn’t generate the sympathy Warren Harding earned. Harding, a spectacular mediocrity, had the self-knowledge to tell any and all he shouldn’t be President. George W. Bush continues to act the part, but at this point whose buying the act? Does this make me a waffler? A flip-flopper? Maybe, although I prefer to call it realism. And, for those of you who never supported Bush, its also fair to accuse me of kicking Bush while he’s down. After all, you were kicking him while he was up.You were right, I was wrong.
