Truth to Power

Rats, time to flee ship

But at this stage of the game, barring some imaginative political moves that bear some resemblance to the Bush Administration circa 2002, Republicans on Capitol Hill and even some longtime Bush team members in various Cabinet level departments say this Administration is done for.

“You run down the list of things we thought we could accomplish and you have to wonder what we thought we were thinking,” says a Bush Administration member who joined on in 2001. “You get the impression that we’re more than listless. We’re sunk.”</i>

Uh, you thought you and your unelected president could ride 9/11 into some glorious Rapture-inducing, stock dividends to everybody (if you’re already white and rich), moment of Churchillian wartime leadership. Only problems were that Bush is less Winston, more Alfred E. Neuman, 9/11 was a sham, and the people getting rich are doing so by bankrupting the country.

Other than that, yeah, you’re golden. Read That Sinking Feeling
