It was very creepy- at least to me. I found it really disturbing- probably one of the most disturbing things I've seen a politician do in as long as I can remember. The odd racial slip doesn't bother me; the sexual peccadillos don't bother me; even the hypocrisy doesn't really bother me. But that, that bothered me. Ronald Reagan's joke about impending nuclear war bothered me too.

For those who don't remember:

"It was the summer of Ronald Reagan's 'joke' in the warm-up to a Saturday radio address, a 'joke' declaring 'Russia' an outlaw nation and announcing that the bombs would fly in five minutes."

It's clear that Bush was rightfully proud that the justice system was working properly. I see nothing creepy about that at all.
