re: It is racisim, but I'm enjoying it immensely. Bush can't have it both ways, deliberately fanning racist flames against "Islamo-Fascism" and then allowing Dubai to buy control of our ports.

Sorry I don't like Bush but worse I don't like where the country is headed. I can't be amused by this stuff at all.

Given the Republican Congressional tendency to change their votes when enough cash is waved around, one has to wonder...
