"How did it come to pass that an opposition's measure of a president's foreign policy was all or nothing, success or "failure"? The answer is that the political absolutism now normal in Washington arrived at the moment--Nov. 7, 2000--that our politics subordinated even a war against terror to seizing the office of the presidency." - Daniel Henninger - WSJ 11/18/05

CNN.com - Breaking News, U.S., World, Weather, Entertainment & Video News: "Man convicted of throwing grenade at President Bush and president of Georgia in May 2005 sentenced to life in prison."

Maybe we should talk to Georgia about Hinckley? Maybe we shouldn't though, they might end up following our lead and give him some weekends to visit home.

Maybe it's different if you use a grenade, rather than real bullets.
