Elissa Lowe of Kettering, Ohio. You're my hero.
Copied over from MWO (because they don't have links):
Horse:
Actually, Peggy Noonan may have been correct (for once) for suggesting that Dubya's biography "...suggests a kind of reverse Abraham Lincoln." She simply didn't carry the analogy far enough. Permit me to elaborate...
Lincoln: born into modest, rural circumstances
Bush: born into wealth and privilege
Lincoln: minimal formal schooling; considerable self-education
Bush: considerable formal schooling; minimal self-education
Lincoln: gifted orator who wrote his own speeches
Bush: incapable of speaking coherently without the aggressive intervention of speechwriters and teleprompter
Lincoln: skilled debater in open, public debate
Bush: mediocre debater in limited, moderated debate
Lincoln: accepted political opponents into his cabinet
Bush: surrounded self with sycophants and cronies - isolated political opponents
Lincoln: "...with malice toward none"
Bush: "...Axis of evil"
Lincoln: despised by Confederates
Bush: adored by neo-Confederates
Lincoln: humble, compassionate
Bush: arrogant, contemptuous
Lincoln: reviled war profiteers
Bush: enables war profiteers
Lincoln: faced the public and accepted criticism as part of the job
Bush: retreats from the public and reacts angrily to criticism
Lincoln: desperate to prevent war
Bush: desperate for war
Lincoln: attempted diplomacy to avert war
Bush: used diplomacy as an attempt to legitimize war
Lincoln: honored by the liberated slaves
Bush: highly unlikely to be honored by the "liberated" Iraqis
Lincoln: limited war time suspension of civil liberties
Bush: expanded "war" time suspension of civil liberties
Lincoln: refused to label secessionists as traitors
Bush: does nothing to discourage the labeling of anti-war activists as traitors
I could go on, but I think the point is made...
