Slog - Comments on Now Everybody Hates George W. Bush http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/06/now_everybody_hates_george_w_bush Even, it seems, his batshitcrazy evangelical "base." Reuters: U.S. President George W. Bush got polite applause Tuesday for his brief, pre-taped video address to the Southern Baptist Convention, America’s largest evangelical denomination, which is holding its annual meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana. That stood in marked contrast to the standing ovations he received last year from the same group when he did a live broadcast link to its meeting in San Antonio.
