Good gravy! I didn't agree with everything President Bush did, far from it. But the insanity on the Left is amazing. It is also pathetic and moronic - like this movie.

Although I can't predict the future, I'm dying to see what happens if 10 years from now Iraq is a successful democracy, and a stabilizing influence in the Middle East. Will the Bush haters admit their mistake? I doubt it; they'll probably huddle up in their hole and wail into the night.

By the way, here is another uncomfortable fact; According to IQ standards Bush sits in the top 5 percent of America. The Left's lie that Bush is somehow stupid is based on his southern accent and malaprops, which are NOT measurements of intelligence. I guess we can add bigotry to the long list of liberal faults.

I really liked this story as it shows the very human problems that a man would face if he was either single or widowed and the president to boot! The two lead actors are terrific as well. For much of the movie Reiner takes an even-handed approach with liberal topics, as gun control and the environment are debated with a degree of fairness.

My problem? Reiner takes a not-so-veiled shot at Senator Bob Dole in the character of Rumson. First of all, the politics of personal destruction are not limited to one political party. Reiner chooses to ignore this fact. Second, despite your view of Dole's politics, he is a genuine war hero who gave much of his body in the service of our country during World War II. The closest the director of this film came to serving this country was in his dreams protesting.

I don't like cheap shots; Reiner should be ashamed of himself.
