Benjamin Wagner, a managing editor, wrote on his blog on Jan. 11, 2007 that “the Bush Administration is the most dangerously inept group of politicians in the history of this country.”
In that same post, in which he commented on a speech Bush gave, he quoted the former president saying, “It is the decisive ideological struggle of our time.” Wagner then commented, “Is it? Christianity versus, what? Dark skinned, tan guys in turbans? Guys with oil? Guys who talk funny?”
