Just how compassionate can a Republican get before he has to leave the 
GOP and join Vegans for Global Justice? ... One moment, George W. Bush
is holding a get-to-know-you meeting with a bunch of gay Republicans.

enough to make a red-blooded conservative choke on his spotted-owl
drumstick.     - April 29th, Economist
