Alas, some conservatives felt offended by the fact that people like myself on the Mall yesterday booed one of the worst presidents in American history. Julian Sanchez has an appropriate response:

That George Bush got to leave the White House in a helicopter, rather than dragged from the rear bumper of a Buick, is a testament to the almost mindboggling restraint of the American people.  It’s an act of mercy bordering on injustice that the man is facing execration rather than execution. “Derangement” at this point consists in the failure to appreciate how easy he’s getting off.

After all, we meant to be disrespectful. That’s the point of disrespect!
