I think it's about the rather odd moral code of that ilk. For most people the only sin is hypocrisy -- you can be a mass murderer as long as you don't go around claiming mass murder is wrong. For Democrat officeholders there's an additional sin: that of losing an election to someone who doesn't orate all purty like Senator Palpatine. I think it goes beyond Bush.
