I'm applying it more generally, but it often makes more sense to use it whenever Bush does something we might think of as a dirty trick. It's hard to come up with an example off the top of my head. The best thing I can think of is Bush's decision to put off asking for more Iraq funding until after the election. It's his perogative, but it looks shady. On the other hand, presidents have historically asked for war funding separately from the main budget, so it's kind of a gray area. And, he just recently got a bunch of money for it, so mabye waiting is a good idea.
Basically, if Clinton (or president Dean or Kucinich, whatever makes you look at the problem the right way) did that with the funding, I might not oppose it.
Again, it's a reality check that works on some issues. Probably depends on how hard your knees jerk.
