Leave poor Dubya alone? Yeah, right.

I get this a lot, from the distraught and Bush-embarrassed right, whenever I happily cough up Dubya's name in a column that would seem to have nothing whatsoever to do with our bumbling, neck-groping disaster of a whimpering leader:

Hey (I'm paraphrasing here) you gay-loving yoga pervert communist! What the gosh-golly hell does George W. Bush possibly have to do with (fill in the blank) cancer rates/MS Windows/electric sports cars/Christina Aguilera? Why do you insist on sneaking in little slaps and stabs at the beleaguered monkeyman even when writing about problems and issues that (seemingly) have nothing to do with him -- like, say, iTunes or vibrators or global warming? Why, in other words, do you blame every social ill on Dubya? It's so not fair!

It has become the default wail, the last remaining lament available to a frazzled GOP, a group now completely unable to dredge up a single defensible position for Bush in the wake of so much scandal and abuse and wiretapping, failed war and environmental devastation and global meltdown:

It's not all Bush's fault! He cannot be blamed for, say, teen sex and bad sitcoms and Mel Gibson! As for national policy, well, Bush inherited years of complicated problems that clearly overwhelmed his unsophisticated brain and attacked him like a swarm of angry multifaceted mosquitoes, which he could only flail and swat at like a terrified child! In other words, Bush is merely one little man swimming in a massive swirling tide of corruption and misprision and difficult-to-pronounce countries. Leave him alone!

It's all so true, isn't it? Bush is innocent as a lamb. Just look at, say, global warming. Libs love to point the finger at Bush's astonishing environmental policy for the hastening of Earth's meltdown, but the truth is, the planet's been heating up for decades, with little concern from any politician except that silly little Al Gore.

3. Clinton was blamed for the discovery of the Blow Job.

So, why not blame the shurb?
