Thanks 2ndDivisionVet. Writing in the New York Slimes, Thomas L. Friedman shrieks:

I have long admired the elder Bush for the deftness with which he dealt with the collapse of the Soviet empire. But, in later years, I came to admire him even more for the fact that he believed that math and science were not matters of opinion...

Yeah, his name is practically synonymos with that. /s

I posted yesterday about the Bush/Ford presidents (GH Bush, don’t forget, was the author of the term “Voodoo Economics” on supply-side Reaganomics which worked better than anything else in the past fifty years in stimulating the eocnomy into high-growth, low-inflation, high-wage. These Republican presidents were and are far more popular with the Dems and their media allies than they are with the Republican base because they were ineffectual, they were “nice” (why, old Gerry Ford from the golf club appointed that wonderful John Paul Stevens to the Supreme Court who was as far left as Brennan or Ginsburg) and they could be snookered into a “bipartisan partnership” (and wonderful press from the left’s media acolytes) for a “Big Deal” where the Dems end up with 90 percent of the purported bargain.

LOL Where do they get this stuff? From their mass brain farts, I would imagine.

ROTF. Sarcasm at its finest.

Are you kidding? GHWB tried even harder than Gorby to keep the Soviet Union together as it was collapsing.

“Stability” uber alles.

"Where have all the adults in this party gone? Where is Dick Lugar, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Colin Powell, Hank Paulson and Big Business?"

ah, yes, an honor role of conservative leadership!! (sic)

funny how the left wants to define who is acceptable for GOP leadership, while giving us rabid socialists like Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer et al as their vision of "moderates"....
