I guess one could argue that in a democracy, a political leader has the vote of a majority, or at least the most votes. So, by critiquing a political leader in a democratic world one is perhaps likely to step on toes than by critiquing a political leader appointed by his father, or by God, or by guns, bloodshed, or bankrolls.
Just a though, why perhaps George w Bush gets the benefit of the doubt more than, say, Kim Jong Il. Although my reasoning fails miserably when it comes to the election of the popular Adolf Hitler, but that's a fault of the Weimar constitution, and beyond the scope of the current discussion on the nature of political correctness and it's implications for civility.
penguins are stinky. smell like rotten fish. but the movie March of the Penguins was awfully poignant. I don't see them as a negative or positive animal.
