4. My republican mother-in-law agrees..

..she always rails agains those that criticize or joke about Bush's lack of language skills. She claims that "all of us" get tongue-tied sometimes, and they're just LOOKING to make fun of him! I don't know about the rest of you.. but I can pretty much get an entire sentence out successfully! They just beleive what they want to believe! Like Rush and his illegal drug problem.. it was a non-issue for these boneheads, but would have been instant condemnation for anyone outside their little circle of intolerance.

not drunk?
