New Patriotism

Has anyone else noticed that it's suddenly patriotic again to criticize the president?

I seem to recall a time -- what was it, eight years or so -- when what the president said was sacrosanct. Little Fox scribes ran around etching it in marble and the rest of us were invited to bow down and scrape.

It would appear that patriotism has something to do with party and not the office.

In other news of idiocy, how about Andy Card being up in arms about whether people in the Obama administration wear a jacket in the Oval Office? This is idiocy. One, it's none of his business. Two, that's what he's worried about? The fact that Bush governed as a criminal for eight years was no concern, as long as he had a jacket on.
