Dear George,

I think G.W. Bush is a liar. I also think he is a lightweight, mindless tool of the Republican establishment. His good-ole-boy, down-home cracker act is beginning to turn my stomach. He's the kind of person who gives rednecks a bad name. And I think he has been given an astonishing free ride by the press, who should, a long time ago, have pointed out the way he has avoided talking about possible drug use and should have underscored his recent denial of the DUI arrest.
