If a conservative had said it- they would demand his head

yeah- when Bush says something- it is offensive and inherently misleading and deceitful- when a dem does it.....it is not offensive, it's a statement of fact, either true or an honest mistake.

After all- the statements made by dems are never deceitful or just outright lies.

The failure to be able to admit the double standard is infuriating, but hardly surprising.

The double standard does still exist. But I just don't think these comments, out of a republicans mouth to a receptive black crowd, would have created a firestorm. Sure, there would be a few partisan shots lobbed at the other side (like what happened here) but I think the stir would have been minor.
