Are You a Bush Republican?

This is just too funny. Hot on the heels of Peggy Noonan's accusation this morning that President Bush has "destroyed" the Republican Party comes a challenge from Americans United for Change to all those Bush-supporting members of Congress whose votes gave him what he wanted: Wear our button and tell the world you're a "Bush Republican":

For seven years, President Bush's allies in Congress helped push forward his failed Conservative agenda. This week, Americans United for Change began delivering "I’m a Bush Republican" buttons to all of the Republicans in the House and Senate today in advance of Bush’s Final State of the Union Address on Monday with the message: "your votes helped build his legacy; you should show your support for him by proudly declaring that you’re a Bush Republican."

Just to be sure you understand the context of this truth-or-dare moment, here are Peggy Noonan's exact words:

George W. Bush destroyed the Republican Party, by which I mean he sundered it, broke its constituent pieces apart and set them against each other.

Let's see how the weasels manage to play both sides this time.
