And he is one of my favorite Democrats, because he wasn't afraid to call a spade a goddamn spade. Truman was three times the man Dumbya will EVER be, and for Dimson to liken himself to such a man is blasphemous.

8. Truman was an avid reader

especially of history.

And of course he was a combat officer in artillery in WW I, and we know what's Shrub's military record is ...

9. My point exactly.

[Cleita]

4. To paraphrase another politician,

"I knew Harry Truman, and you Mr. Bush, are no Harry Truman."

5. I did hear that Bush once

told his cook when she complained about the work conditions that if she couldn't stand the heat to get out of the kitchen.

6. Bush/Truman "the buck stops here"

Just compare Truman's "The buck stops here" slogan acknowledging that ultimately the president is responsible for anything whether its fair or not and proudly accepting that, with Bush's blame anyone else no apologies no accountability excuse making on everything from the economy 9/11 deficits Iraq gas prices whatever.

7. Howard Fineman said "Truman said the Buck Stops Here,

in this admin, most of the time there isn't even a buck!"

I thought Howard had a GREAT comeback to Hitchins somparrison of Shrub to Truman.
