From what has been said the journalist was "sane" and made a clear decision, probably knowing the consequences of his own action.<BR/><BR/>I think that his action shows how:<BR/><BR/>1.)

The journalist has so many reasons to be angry at and disrespectful to Bush, but that doesn't mean his actions were correct.<BR/><BR/>And Bush, as usual, didn't get it as he tried to jolly joe it and blow it off. The man has such a tin ear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
