Think Progress reports:Today at a press conference, President Bush dismissed these concerns out of hand. Bush said, “You know, I hear people say, Well, civil war this, civil war that. The Iraqi people decided against civil war when they went to the ballot box.”Kos and Attaturk (guesting for Atrios) politely call attention to the history of the United States, when this nation's Civil War broke out as a direct result of people going to the ballot box and electing Abe Lincoln. Attaturk comments: "To paraphrase David Letterman, four-score & seven also happens to be Bush's IQ."
