Blame the Bloggers!

Former President Bush Blames ‘Bloggers’ for ‘Ugly’ Political Climate

GRETA: Why do you think it’s gotten so adversarial? Tonight is literacy. Everybody comes in from all different sides and wants to help. It seems like oftentimes in Washington, you know, on something we all want to work towards it’s not necessarily so civilized. It’s not so pleasant.

H.W. BUSH: It’s true but that’s not new really. I mean, you go back in history and you’ll find that there was always adversarial politics. There was always gut fighting. And it’s probably a little worse now given the electronic media and the bloggers and all these kinds of things. But I don’t despair about it. I think things — there is a pendulum at work at times so you swing away from the incivility back to more normal climate.

I guess Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage and Michelle Malkin is not responsible for the ugliness in the political climate in H.W. Bush world.
