But when the president does, it is NOT appeasement...as long as the president's name is "George W. Bush"

I hate to rag on George Bush too much about the successful negotiations with North Korea about that country's nuclear program, because it's probably the only thing in his entire misbegotten administration that he's gotten right. But where at one time I would have been obliged, however grudgingly, to congratulate the administration on a job well done, Bush's appalling comments about appeasement just a few weeks ago mean that we have to point out his hypocrisy and that of his entire administration.

Or we could just let Keith Olbermann do it:

Note in particular the condescension with which Bush points out the strengths of negotiation -- as if he'd just discovered something previously unknown to anyone.
