Er, I seem to recall a certain...foot-dragging attitude in Foggy  Bottom
back when Colin Powell was SecState.

Oh, stop.  You're getting me hot.  I hear the strains of "America
the Beautiful" swelling in the background, and it's hard to type
with my hand over my heart.

Justified criticism isn't the issue.  *Pointless* criticism is the
issue.  Bush was duly elected (no, the election was *not* "stolen"),
and so you Bush-haters may as well stop your whining.  If you have
a specific beef, that's well and good.  But this inecessant snivel-
ling about the mere _fact_ of a Bush presidency is tiresome.

Besides which, the criticism in question was *not* justified, and
was just plain silly.  There's nothing on the referenced Web page
that was worthy of criticism.  The Bearclaw Entity simply mentioned
it in order to provide dubious "context" for a non-specific sneer
at the Bush Administration.
