Bush and the Attack of the So-and-Sos

Many news outlets today proclaimed a softening in the administration's tone regarding critics of the Iraq war, with the president himself noting, "I heard somebody say, well, maybe so-and-so is not patriotic because they disagree with my position. I totally reject that thought." Heard "somebody" say it, eh? Well, you know how if you walk by the same piece of furniture every day, you can kind of forget that it's there? Vice presidents are totally the same way.
