This was bad, but it was very human, so I don't think it really hurts Bush. Who hasn't been frustrated enough to at least think something along those lines? I don't think Democrats went after Cheney the way Republicans would go after a Dem who said the same thing. That is one of the major differences between Dems and Republicans. Most Dems don't feign moral outrage for political gain. If they can understand that someone is just expressing a human reaction, even in poor taste, they get over it. Republicans would act outraged, and milk it for all it's worth. I don't believe most Republicans would actually be outraged, but they would sure act like it.
