Yet Another Part of the Bush Act I'm Tired Of

Headline from AP: Bush Tones Down Attack on Iraq War Critics

We should be used to this pattern by now:

1. Bush attacks somebody's patriotism.

2. Bush's surrogates and lackeys spend a week pressing the attack, writing op-eds, making inflammatory speeches in Congress, sniping on the Sunday Chat Shows, airing ads morphing Democrats into Osama Bin Laden, and the like.

3. Bush says he never attacks anyone's patriotism and welcomes open debate.

It has a certain lather-rinse-repeat quality to it, doesn't it?
