People's Republic of America. That's cute.
It's probably true that a great number of people who want to believe Clarke's account are anti-Bush, but that hardly means they're liberal. I know a great number of conservatives who have no love for Bush or his administration and their policies (foreign or domestic, take your pick).
Even as cosmetic details in Clarke's accounts of meetings with the President differed, the points he made are clearly valid. Even the people who don't like him and feel he's an opportunist agree with him on that account.
You can dress a cat up like a pirate, that doesn't change the fact that it's a cat.
P.S. I'm not sure what that last bit means, I just like the image.
