The Best Part of Waking Up...

Why Bush is a terrible president

Is finding a column with the title above in the morning Chicago Tribune . (The link above is to Molly Ivins' syndication site, in case you don't have a password at chicagotribune.com.)

Molly discusses the fact that the grudge regarding the stolen election of 2000 is perhaps the longest held grudge in the history of normally wimpy liberals, and lays out a case for the badness of Bush's presidency that isn't predicated in the least on the gut-level outrage many people feel toward him. Here's her last paragraph to tempt you into clicking on the link:

"It is not necessary to hate George W. Bush to think he's a bad president. Grown-ups can do that, you know--decide someone's policies are a miserable failure without lying awake at night consumed with hatred. Poor Bush is in way over his head, and the country is in bad shape because of his stupid economic policies. If that make me a Bush-hater, then sign me up."
