What's to make of the scene in DC if Bush is now more conservative than Helms?
It was a remarkable moment. As he neared retirement, the jingoistic troglodyte from North Carolina realized he'd been mistaken about anti-AIDS efforts.

But Bush, who marketed himself to the American people as a "compassionate conservative," deep-sixed the plan.
