I thought he couldn't get any stupider after saying that Fitzgerald should pack up and go home. I was wrong:
Maybe because Bush is a Bush -- son of a president who got to know many Arabs -- or maybe because he just naturally recoils from prejudice, his initial stance on this controversy has been refreshingly admirable. Whatever the case, the president has done the right thing. Attention must be paid.
That's right, call your opponent a racist because he opposes the UAE port deal on security grounds and exonerate Bush because he talks about bigotry. That's... uh, a rebuttal?
