Bush used to stuff firecrackers in the mouths of living frogs, light them, and toss them into the air to watch them explode, according to childhood witnesses quoted in an article by Nicholas Kristof, May 21, 2000, in the New York Times. Such evidence, buried deep in puff-piece stories, should have been warnings to us all. You don't put animal abusers in top positions of power.
