Huh. Haven't read the linked article yet, but I had heard rumors that Bush was mad at Rove for the leak....
eta: Upon reading the article - it says that Bush made no specific mention of leaking Plame's identity....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not sure that women "like bad guys" so much as they want a little excitement.
I'm not trying to talk about women in general, nor imply that all men are too-nice or too-bad. Just that if your picker is off and you're seeking excitement, it's more likely from a bad boy you want to make palatable than injecting fun into a too-nice guy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Just that if your picker is off and you're seeking excitement, it's more likely from a bad boy you want to make palatable than injecting fun into a too-nice guy.
If your picker is off and you're seeking stability, though, you're going to be finding the too-nice guy and trying to make him more fun or interesting or whatever. It's just a different kind of "off."

See, I've never seen that. Which is why I ask. All the fixing women I've seen have been trying to quiet a guy down.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
It's just a different kind of "off."
Right, either one is actually a dud.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
you're going to be finding the too-nice guy and trying to make him more fun or interesting or whatever
I would guess this more often plays out as finding the too-nice guy and convincing yourself the fun and interesting doesn't matter.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I htink the other side of the coin is dating a too nice guy and trying to make one feel love for him because it "should" work.

Oh, I've seen it. It's the women I know who feel like it's Time To Settle Down, and who doesn't want to settle down with a Nice Guy? Well, some of them, it turns out. Of course they want to settle down with a nice, good, guy, but not one for whom Nice is the definining characteristic.
