POOR GUY

I’m amused by emailers calling me a Bush-hater. He drives me crazy, I disagree strongly with some of his decisions, I think he’s been a disaster for conservatism, blah blah blah, but I find it very hard to hate him, or even dislike him. A man who gets trapped in a press conference by locked doors and responds, “I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn’t work,” is not someone I find easy to hate. He did look shattered on the television, however. I hope he gets some sleep on the plane.
