Giving Praise Where Praise is Due

I already posted on the port thing, but this article hits the nail on the head.

I think this whole thing helps us understand the Bush mind a great deal. Throw in Bush's steadfast pro-immigration views (even when they piss off his base) and his (certainly not conservative) belief that the Arab world is ready for democracy and you have a guy that is notably not xenophobic or isolationist - even when beign xenophobic and isolationist are the cool things to be this year if you're part of the conservative base.

So George W. Bush: Good for you!
