I've read your exchanges with R.D. on the Karla Faye Tucker matter, and I think your criticism of him -- for disagreeing with you -- was unfounded.

GWB may have said those four words ("Please don't kill me") or he may not have. It was in a noisy plane cabin. A witness denies it. To assail the character of another poster for doubting that it happened is not called for.

If Bush did say those words the tone of voice and facial expression would mean everything, and for that we have only the subjective interpretation of the reporter -- who comes across to me about as pro-Bush as you are pro-Ashcroft.

If Bush was mocking Tucker, what of it? A lame joke. Poor taste. Insensitivity. Leno, Letterman, Maher, do that every night. How many times have Charles Manson, or Arafat, been mocked or ridiculed for a laugh? Tucker was a brutal axe murderess, not a candidate for sainthood.

All of this may be getting boring, but it does seem like you and others are still making a very big deal of it (six years later) in the hope of coming up with something (anything) to embarrass the president.
