If you don't, you're fair game, according to Dear Leader. Confronted by an oh-so-rare non-programmed questioner at one recent faux Town Hall meeting -- the woman asked, "How can Ariel Sharon be a man of peace, as you've said, if he causes death and torture among innocent Palestinians?" -- Bush made no attempt to deny her pretext. He responded:
"That's a great question. First of all, Ariel Sharon is defending his country against terrorist attacks, just like we will . . . Ariel Sharon is a duly elected official in a democracy. We would hope that the Palestinians would have that same kind of democracy."
So c'mon, all you lay-abouts! Get with the democracy program. Or else be prepared to duck, innocent or not.

The would-be hipster lingo sounds just like the Bush twins' speech last night. Did Karen Hughes ghost write this Olam post?
For the record, I've been "worried" ever since Bush stole the last election. That's the whole point, so I'm not going to deny it. Anyone who has any sense is worried, to put it mildly.
