Bush is strongest...

... when Bush is strongly condemning those needing condemnation:

In his first public comments on the MoveOn.org controversy, President Bush on Thursday excoriated Democrats for not repudiating the activist liberal group, which ran a newspaper ad attacking a respected U.S. general.

Responding to a question by The Examiner at a White House press conference, Bush ripped last week's MoveOn.org ad in the New York Times that mocked General David Petraeus, the top commander in Iraq, as "General Betray Us" and accused him of "cooking the books" on Iraq.

"I thought that the ad was disgusting," a clearly agitated Bush said. "I felt like the ad was an attack, not only on General Petraeus, but on the U.S. military. And I was disappointed that not more leaders in the Democrat Party spoke out strongly against that kind of ad.

"That leads me to come to this conclusion: that most Democrats are afraid of irritating a left-wing group like MoveOn.org -- are more afraid of irritating them than they are of irritating the United States military," he said.

A-freakin-men President Bush... and you should be laying into your bully pulpit to do this sort of thing one hell of a lot more often.  In fact, you should especially lay into those 25 Senators who refused to condemn the MoveOn.Org ad and the 3 chickensh*ts who refused to vote:

NAYs ---25
Akaka (D-HI) Bingaman (D-NM) Boxer (D-CA) Brown (D-OH) Byrd (D-WV) Clinton (D-NY) Dodd (D-CT) Durbin (D-IL) Feingold (D-WI)	Harkin (D-IA) Inouye (D-HI) Kennedy (D-MA) Kerry (D-MA) Lautenberg (D-NJ) Levin (D-MI) Menendez (D-NJ) Murray (D-WA) Reed (D-RI)	Reid (D-NV) Rockefeller (D-WV) Sanders (I-VT) Schumer (D-NY) Stabenow (D-MI) Whitehouse (D-RI) Wyden (D-OR)

Not Voting - 3
Biden (D-DE)	Cantwell (D-WA)	Obama (D-IL)

Notice some of the names here people... including Senator Clinton, your likely future President if the ignorant and gullible vote her way.  Or Senator Obama who lacks the courage to pick a side.  And never mind Senator Reid or Durbin or Boxer or Feingold or Kennedy or Kerry or Schumer or Harkin.  Every damned one of them a credentialed moonbat. 

Yes, President Bush needs to be as commanding tomorrow as he was today and let the American people know clearly, repeatedly, and forcefully... that these traitorous bastards do indeed loathe the military and are indeed afraid of MoveOn.Org.

Will the American people wake the hell up?

UPDATE: Michelle has more, with links to unhappy nutroots.
