Now, Amos, who said I was talking about Bush :) Well, I *do* think he's a snake, except that I like snakes better. They don't lie about their nature.

We've had repulsive, unethical presidents who you wouldn't want to be left in a room with... and depending on your idealogy, the list may be very different. Getting elected doesn't mean you are worthy of respect.

But I don't remember any Republican rhetoric about how we need to respect the office when Clinton was in there. Those that thought HE was a snake said so and loudly, and did a lot of hunting trying to come up with something he did wrong. This is way beyond what Jimmy was talking about, but we always hear Republicans whining about supporting the President... when the Pres is a Republican. Otherwise, fair game.

'Tis America. We don't have bloody coups but we do verbally disembowel our elected officials :)
