Going after some parody website is hardly the pinacle of Bush's hypocricy regarding liberty. How about his support of China over Taiwan? Or calling Putin a "kindred soul" while he's busy trying to run a corrupt shadow government in the Ukraine? Or when he ignored Saudi Arabia's arrests of dissidents who simpy proposed a constitutional monarchy, only to invite Crown Prince Abdullah into his home in Texas (Saudi Arabia is considered one of the 8 most repressive countries in the world)? Bush has approved aid to Uzbekistan, ruled by dictator Islam Karimov and a regine far more brutal than, say Iran.
Nope, sorry, but his claims of being the champion of freedom don't level. He's far from it, it's just a tired attempt to justify an ill conceived war, and yet another case of him being completely unable to admit a mistake.
