The treatment President Bush has received from this country is nothing less than a disgrace. The attacks launched against him have been cruel and slanderous, proving to the world what little character and resolve we have.
...
Our failure to stand by the one person who continued to stand by us has not gone unnoticed by our enemies. It has shown to the world how disloyal we can be when our president needed loyalty — a shameful display of arrogance and weakness that will haunt this nation long after Mr. Bush has left the White House.
This is a really bizarre outlook, and the sort of thing that would make Will Wilkinson puke in his mouth a little. I hardly need to say that there is no obligation of loyalty of the American people to the President of the United States; in fact, I would say that the only real loyalty there needs to be is that of the President of the United States to the Constitution. By this standard, George W. Bush has been most disloyal, and his presidency really can in my estimation be called "a shameful display of arrogance and weakness that will haunt this nation long after Mr. Bush has left the White House."
