Americans safer with Saddam in prison: Bush

It's not the obvious naivete of that statement that gets me. It's this sentence -- Two Bush opponents, taken out of the crowd in restraints by police, said they were told they couldn't be there because they were wearing shirts that said they opposed the president.

*sings sarcastically* Oh, I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free ... *gags because I was singing that nauseating song*

Anyone else find it as pathetic as I do that the president is so sensitive he can't even take criticism in the form of a couple of T-shirts?

EDIT: You know, I think I get more irritated by fireworks on July Fourth because I'm probably one of the few Americans who doesn't expect them that night. My hometown never has fireworks on the fourth of July, because they're saving their fireworks money so they can have them the last weekend of July into the beginning of August when they have their little town carnival. So my usual reaction to July Fourth fireworks is, "Dude, lay off! It's too bloody soon for this!"
