Bush on the Constitution

Apparently George W. Bush has said that the Constitution is "Just a G-D- piece of paper."

Doug Thompson at Capitol Hill Blue appears to be upset about this.

So does Mike W of Lunaville.

Karen Kwiatowski, however, gets it pretty correctly.

The only thing remarkable about Bush's statement is that he actually explicitly said what Presidents and other politicians have believed since this country began.

Is what he said terrible? Yes, but let's not kid ourselves that any of Dubya's predecessors were great constitution-preserving heroes. Or that anyone in the Senate or Congress (except maybe Ron Paul) actually disagrees with Bush when push comes to shove.

That is all.
