Alpha Liberal reminds me that Bush somehow gets his head around the following:
?the jury is still out on evolution?

Frank Rich on Bush’s Last 1000 Days

Frank Rich’s New York Times op-ed column today was full of the kind of easy one-liners that repressives conservatives usually like to use against honest people progressives.

Finally, he looks up and [...]
