At last my conjecture has been proved right. Beginning with what must surely go down in history as the oddest presidential election campaign to date in 2004 — it was arguably surpassed in 2008 by the contest between the war hero and the pop cultural celebrity — I and others noticed with dismay how during President Bush’s second term he rarely if ever answered even the most scurrilous allegations against him and his administration. During the Presidential debates with John Kerry, the Senator would make the most appalling charges about the administration’s bad faith, corruption or incompetence in dealing with the insurgency in Iraq or the hunt for Osama bin Laden at Tora Bora and all the President could say in reply was "It" — by which he meant fighting terrorism and creating a stable government in Iraq — "is hard." True enough, perhaps, but it’s not much of an answer to such serious charges.
