I had said, below, in re: DougR : Loyal, perhaps. Upon reflection, this is wrong.

These BuShites, like Douggie, can viciously turn on their own in a nanosecond. A few years ago, Gen. Powell was the hero of the BuShites- a veritable "Great Black Hope" about whom they couldn't say enough good.

However, once he's seen to be using his intelligence, thinking critically, and making a reasoned decision based on factual evidence (all of which activities are anathema to the true BuShite & inimical to their political agenda) he becomes an object of derision and an "enemy of America".

Were this not so disgusting, it might be amusing.
