Salacious Gossip Watch
In the much-linked story about Robert Draper’s interviews with President Bush, this passage:
In response to Mr. Draper’s observance that Mr. Bush had nobody’s “shoulder to cry on,†the president said: “Of course I do, I’ve got God’s shoulder to cry on, and I cry a lot.â€
Um, Laura? Heck, Condi?
Also, why does anyone believe the President when he says he’s just not sure how the decision to disband the Iraqi Army got made? The passage that follows, about how Bush wished diplomacy “had worked” in Iraq is clearly dishonest. I bet the one about Bush not knowing the details of the disbanding the Iraqi Army is a crock too.

The funny thing is, Bush is so constitutionally unable to say he’s made a mistake that his cover story is that he just wasn’t paying attention. Which, I’m afraid, is entirely too plausible.

The entire published interview with Numbnuts is simply beyond parody. Setting aside the entire question of fluency in English, and a shocking inability to string together coherent thoughts, what else can the public learn about the cockbite’s “innermost thoughts” from such stories?
Well, he’s “the Decider”…OK, that’s been established, and…???? I don’t get it.

And the Democrats have completely failed to rein him in.
9 months after the November elections and Bush will find it easier to get the next tranche of money for the war than the last one and he seems to be gearing up for an attack on Iran.

On the other hand, I firmly believe that George W. Bush is the leader this nation deserves.
Maybe you or I don’t deserve him, but look around, go to the hardware store, listen to conversations at the grocery checkout–the United States is brimming with “George W. Bush”-calibre people. It’s a wonder they didn’t elevate one of their own before now.
