Has Shrub "grown" in appreciation of freedom of expression?!1 (The shoe throwing)

[UTUSN]

Actually, it's been Condo RICE who has made a statement or two over the years about people's right to dissent, and since we KNOW what a close, personal, intimate influence she has on Shrub, perhaps his saying that the shoe-thrower was exhibiting freedom is an outgrowth of it. (Heavy sarcasm.)

So, does his newfound respect for such things as the one finger salute (when directed at him, as opposed to HIS using it all his life) mean he would join us in civil liberties by advocating for flag-burning, OR, I submit that it is all his same old message of "Who cares what you think?!"

He ain't no late bloomer. He's a never-bloomer.
