Does the Cosmos Itself Want John Hinderaker to Understand That He Is Wrong?

This is just too easy.

November 9, John Hinderaker posts the following at Powerline:

Bush never gets sloppy when he is speaking publicly. He chooses his words with care and precision, which is why his style sometimes seems halting. In the eight years he has been President, it is remarkable how few gaffes or verbal blunders he has committed. If Obama doesn't raise his standards, he will exceed Bush's total before he is inaugurated.

This clearly offended the Gods.

I have on good authority that George W. Bush did not always "choose his words with care and precision." My support for this claim? George W. Bush three short days after Hinderaker's post:

"I regret saying some things I shouldn't have said," Bush said. He cited comments he made after the Sept. 11 attacks, when he said of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden: "I want justice. There's an old poster out West that said, 'Wanted, dead or alive.'"

He also said he regretted telling Iraqi insurgents in 2003: "There are some who feel like that the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is, bring 'em on."

'Be Careful'

In the interview yesterday, he said, "My wife reminded me that, 'hey, as president of the United States, be careful what you say.'"

Yeah, Laura Bush agrees with me, too.
