"We could have done something important Max. We could have fought child abuse or Republicans!" --Oona Hart (played by Victoria Foyt), in the 1995 movie "Last Summer in the Hamptons."
You don't think W cares, do you? Even if he knows, the opinions of peons have never bothered this king. Somebody else will get the flack for it, of course. Just like Louis XVI got the ax for the behaviors of his father and grandfather (XVI was as disconnected as W, but not as protected by members of the "4th estate".)
