In which I am put in my place ...

Dear TPM,

I think you're being unfair to suggest the President is being inconsistent with his position on the port issue. I don't see the President implying that we have to in any way respect ordinary people of Middle Eastern origin. This is a corporation we're talking about, and Bush has always held a deep respect for the rights of corporations, regardless of their background, or criminal record for that matter.

Point taken.
