Regarding your (Melinda Shore's) comment on Bush and bigotry, look at the quote in my .signature. The same quote also appeared in "The Wit and Wisdom of George Bush." (Yes, the title is sarcastic.)
But, as I say in my .signature, I don't really think Bush is a bigot; what he is is so detached that he doesn't see a problem. He doesn't, didn't, see a problem with the economy; he didn't see a problem with saying such a stupid remark.
I was tempted to say "Bush isn't a bigot, he's stupid" until I remembered that bigotry is stupid.
