Demagogue

Yesterday in Idaho, President Bush told reporters:

As Americans watch the constitutional process unfold (in Iraq), as we watch people work to achieve compromise and unity, we've got to remember our own history. We had trouble at our own conventions writing a constitution.

You're right, Mr. President, there were definitely some stumbling blocks when James Madison and a host of other constitutional delegates gathered for their proceedings. But I don't recall Madison and company ever encountering "trouble" like this, this or this.
