I don't think it would be all that illuminating... we can pretty much EXPECT that to be the case, and you know it. Those who find Bush criticism politically expedient will not be offended, and those who don't like Bush criticism will say that it's not the time or place for such statements.

There is no way to tell who is "right" just from that assessment.
