Your statement that:
I have plenty of my own criticism for the Bush Administration, but he's alot better than what the Democrats have been able to conjure up
made his credentials fair game, and worthy of bringing out to contrast against the job he is tasked with and the rarely challenged assertion that he is uniquely qualified to do it (you didn't quite go that far, but that mantra is still implied and repeated so often everywhere you look). I had not intended to attack him personally; if that were my intention I would have instead said what I think of the man, which is that he is an inept drug addled sock puppet who if he were born with any other last name he would be pumping gas at a 7/11 and washing windshields. And I doubt he'd even be able to manage that level of responsibility for very long.
That's a personal attack, and one I would not make on anyone else except Bush is unique in the extraordinary amount of power he wields, the unearned good will he has squandered, and the far reaching consequences his 8 years in office will have for all of us.
