Wow, I wouldn't have thought I'd defend the Bushies for _anything_, but ... wow.

Insinuations that the Bushies are to be blamed, even though the story is false, because it's _easily believable_ ... wow. Look, it was "easily believable" to a lot of people that Clinton was incapable of keeping his pants zipped.

Ooh, Elder Bush was an evil spook, director of the CIA for "quite some time." About a year, actually. And he was hardly a CIA creature, but a career bureaucrat who was parachuted in. Closer to what Scott Adams calls a "bungee boss" than a real CIA man.

Is heckling free speech? In the ordinary sense, yes. But using heckling to _shout down_ invited speakers is NOT free speech. It is depriving them of THEIR free speech. If you want to issue a rebuttal, shut up and listen and THEN go outside and make your response.
