Headline writers: please, no more of "Bush touts"!

[IDemo]

If I read the phrase "Bush touts" in another headline, I'm going to wind up having to replace my keyboard or monitor. This man has no right to 'tout' anything, period. The damage he has done to America in lying his way into war and by attacking those who would dare to set the record straight on his reasons for that war, negates any 'political capital' or moral stance he may have enjoyed with an election victory (assuming the victory was valid). Also, Bush's denying and/or ignoring the threats of global warming and peak oil have made it clear he values the well-being of big business interests over the future of America, mankind, and planet Earth. The conduct of his war and his government by himself and the likes of Rove/Cheney/Rumsfield makes me wish that Alcatraz could be rebuilt just to accomodate these clowns and their compadre's such as Bob Novak.

"Tout" (from dictionary.com): "To promote or praise energetically; publicize"
