I specifically, and truthfuly, said it wasn't about politics.

I can think of people whose politics I more or less share, whom I wouldn't think are at all likable. And I can think of a fair number of people whose politics I detest whom I would see as likable.

To me, talk about Bush as "likable" is as puzzling as if people were to speak about Ari Sharon's slender physique, or Michael Moore's suave dress sense.
