As to what purpose does it serve to use the word--I think it is accurate.

So being accurate is a purpose in itself? And it's disrespectful to hide the truth in favor of civility? How charming. Let me see how many fat or ugly people I can find this afternoon to whom to be purposefully accurate...

Besides, you still haven't demonstrated it to be objectively accurate. You only believe it to be accurate. Claiming that a belief is a fact is not accurate.

It is provocative to those of us who are and have always been angry, embarrassed, amazed, shocked at the actions, attitudes and words of this administration to use any other word.

Now we get down to it--an expression of righteous anger.

Bush wasn't the first to think he knows something that isn't true, or can't be substantiated, and he wasn't the last. Its a common affliction.
