Bush's Version of Democracy

You can tell a lot about a person by watching what they do instead of listening to what they say. With Bush, his actions are seldom congruent with his words, but here's another glimpse into his dark soul from the Washington Post. Here's a quick look:

President Bush yesterday offered his strongest support of embattled Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, saying the general "hasn't crossed the line" and "truly is somebody who believes in democracy." (cue up the twilight zone music.)

Here's what Senator Joe Biden had to say about it:

"What exactly would it take for the president to conclude Musharraf has crossed the line? Suspend the constitution? Impose emergency law? Beat and jail his political opponents and human rights activists?" asked Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a presidential candidate. "He's already done all that. If the president sees Musharraf as a democrat, he must be wearing the same glasses he had on when he looked in Vladimir Putin's soul."
