1. I love America

The "honesty issue" is also causing Gore trouble in Florida, where voters give Bush a 9% lead in believing he is the one with the honesty and integrity to be president over Gore.

2. Well technically if you change the definition of torture to:
"Dropping a person out of Air Force Two at 15 thousand feet without a parachute." Then anything less could not be called torture. See, our Fuhrer is not at all about torture, he only flies on Air Force One!

Speaking of torture, for me it is watching glenn bleck appearances on CNN...I have a terribly low threshold to pain I guess.

4. Hmm
I don't think any country that runs a concentration camp can consider itself civilised.

8. Gee, I hope nobody has the bad taste to ask Bush about this
It would be so very uncomfortable to make Bush answer questions about this. So I hope none of those mean old reporters ask him any questions.
