"That's awfully pathetic, you must know." What is? Your continued insistence that I should be horrified by something one reporter says happened and no one else corroborates? Yes, that IS pathetic. "Here's what I don't understand about people like you." What I don't understand is why you and others here are so quick to classify people who don't accept your view of the world, or accept as fact things you simply assert as true with no substantiation, as some homogenous "people like you" mass. You know nothing about me except that I am not horrified by something Carlson claims to have happened, but has no corroboration for. [I edited out where I noted that "people like you" are complete idiots}

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.
