Bush was just a useful idiot for them, and at some point, even as dumb as he appears to be, I think it's going to hit him what damage he has done to the country and world!
I do wonder what the dynamics really were in his administration.

More on that dumb fruit fly research and studies on birth defects:

Well, maybe Sarah can have him as a regular guest when she gets a job on The View. Then he can vent his spleen and enjoy citicizing President Obama's every move. And if that gets old, they can talk about fruit flies... or how dinosaurs used to walk with humans...

Her level of sophistication could have led her to deny funding to Dr. Saulk because he was only interested in curing diseases in white rats....and she wanted a polio cure for people.

Sarah Palin is selectively anti-science. She ridicules research that uses fruit flies to study human disease....altho this is indisputably valuable and productive research...but she sought and accepted earmark funds to study the behavior of King Crabs.

She doesnt understand the fruit fly is one of the preferred laboratory specimens because of its very short life and the ability to do multi-generational studies in a compact amount of time. Her throwing in Paris France seems to harken back to the Freedom Fries controversy.....someone needs to remind her that McCain has rehabilitated France now...its Spain and those other latin American countries he doesnt trust
