That's what is so welcome to me about George W. Bush. I'm not sure he's right on everything yet. To be fair, there are perfectly rational arguments as to why chick politics are superior to guy politics. Andrew Sullivan has made the point that male combativeness may be a necessary attribute to run for political office but may be a liability in being a good politician. Indeed, some people value consensus over conflict.
Some people think that the male compulsion to hog credit and assign blame is bad for politics.
That's a good argument, and one day we can have it out in full. But in the meantime, I don't want to hold anyone's hand. First, my apologies for the tardy and rambling quality of this column. I got started early this morning, but then had to spend the rest of the day at the vet. His growth plates in his front right leg went hinckey.
