How many people really cared if Bush made an ass of himself and bombed a country or two? The Iraq invasion was mismanaged and ended up costing more American lives than it would have if properly run, and that is obviously bad, but the rest of Bush's gaffes were inconsequential to the lives of everyday Americans.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
