It appears that an apology is in order.

I cheerily linked to a quiz earlier in the week that let you see which member of the Bush Administration you were most like, and I got Rumsfeld. To me, that's something to celebrate at a whimsical level. I did not immediately realize that the quiz wasn't entirely er, sincere, something that should have been obvious after I read the description of Rumsfeld as 'subtle'. The man's about as subtle as a shotgun blast in the face at ten paces, and I should have detected a certain irony.

I didn't, however, say anything 'cause I wasn't too worried about the mischaracterization of Rumsfeld. My response was to brush it off as silly humor. I should have figured something was up when I saw the text for President Bush.

Bottom line: I didn't post a link to that test out of malice, and I didn't know that the thing would hamfistedly try to smear AG Ashcroft by calling him Heinrich Himmler and implying that he was a totalitarian. Heck, from what little I know about Ashcroft, I like him. Anyone willing to stand up and admit, "We have no king but Jesus" in this day and age can't be all bad.

My apologies.
