An 81 year old man is what I would be scared of if I were Bush. I could deal with the millions who hate me, but this guy would drive me into the fetal position. Surely no one took the article for anything other than a commentary, and knew he never meant any thing from it.

I definitely don't think he is crossing any freedom of speech lines; obviously like jleswim1 said the guy just can't stand Bush.
