President Bush

George Will's column this morning regarding politics ends with a quote from Bush. There are so many people that can't stand Bush just for the way he looks, or swaggers or talks etc. I like him, and always will, just for the way he is in these moments of honesty.

At a town meeting, a man demands to know what the candidate would do about "all these bastards" born to welfare mothers. The candidate, Klein recalls, "glared at the man - he seemed truly angry - and said, 'First, sir, we must remember that it is our duty to love all the children.' "

So spoke, during the hotly contested South Carolina primary in 2000, an indignant George W. Bush. Politics still has exhilarating moments.
