Taking a speck out of someone else's eye

"I've always said I think it's very important for someone not to try to take the speck out of someone else's eye when they may have a log in their own."



That's George W. Bush responding to questions about Ron Reagan's eulogy for his father, you remember the one where Reagan said that although his father was a deeply religious man he "never made the fatal mistake of so many politicians - wearing his faith on his sleeve to gain political advantage." Frankly, I didn't understand what President Bush meant either, but it did sound like it was meant to be intimidating. If intimidation was the objective, it didn't work our very well. Ron Reagan has made clear his view of Bush and his administration.
