If he can, it's the first anybody is hearing about it.

You'd think it would be a bad thing but nobody is asking this question yet.

C> Do the actions of the Bush white house define "good", and such any action done by a member of the Bush white house are "good"?

Just wondering. =)
Yes. If you do a really really really bad thing, like screwing up a major disaster relief event, you get a pat on the back. If you do a really really bad thing, like releasing the name of a covert CIA operative, you get a commendation and kiss on the cheek. If you do a really bad thing, like shoot an old codger in the woods, you get a medal. If you do a bad thing, like getting a DUI and scuffling with your dad, you get to be president.
