Wow fuck all those people! She hugged someone!
They are so bad! You make such a point! She’s so shitty because of that photo! [BRANDED!]
Dare we say “mission accomplished” despite the fact that it’s totally off and has nothing to to do with anything? How far off the point is necessary?
How many photos do you need to keep up the appearance of being so far off?
8 3 ReplyWhy Do Democrats Keep Embracing George W. Bush?
Lest we forget, Bush was an incredibly divisive president. He brought the country together for a fleeting moment after 9/11—then promptly frittered away all that goodwill by trusting his stupid gut and going his own way. He won reelection by slandering his war-hero opponent and stoking conservative fears about gay marriage. His line about being “a uniter, not a divider” was a long-standing joke. And his successor—who, for better and often for worse, seemed to genuinely believe in the ideal of national unity—rode a wave of anti-Bush fervor into the White House.
