Talk about being in need of lessons in common virtues. Don't they teach manners at Yale? Morals at Bush's church? Bush is a coward:
Former Democratic Sen. Max Cleland tried to deliver a letter protesting ads challenging John Kerry's Vietnam service to President Bush at his Texas ranch Wednesday, but neither a Secret Service official nor a state trooper would take it.
The former Georgia senator, a triple amputee who fought in Vietnam, was carrying a letter from nine Senate Democrats who wrote Bush that "you owe a special duty" to condemn attacks on Kerry's military service.
"The question is where is George Bush's honor, the question is where is his shame to attack a fellow veteran who has distinguished himself in combat?" Cleland asked. "Regardless of the political combat involved, it's disgraceful."
Encountering a permanent roadblock to Bush's ranch, Cleland left without turning over the letter to anyone.
Cleland is right: where is Bush's honor?
This event could not have been more tailor made to elicit outrage, and yet it does. Bush is such a spineless coward. Like the new reports on the abuse at Abu Ghraib echo, and so many other events of the past three years, Bush is no leader, the country has no leadership, it has spineless cowards who duck and hide when it's time to do the right thing. What a wimp. Bush and his handlers don't have a shred of common decency, and this just proves it.
