TIME MAGAZINE: 'YOU F*CKING IDIOT!'
The new issue of Time on the Dictator Tot's "strange little presidency":
"It is tempting to believe that Bush rose to the occasion last September because flag and country demanded it. But with the passage of a year, and a chance to watch the President in action at home and overseas, it's harder to get away from the idea that Bush didn't rise to meet history but that history fell to meet him. In one horrifying two-hour period, the world shuddered and conformed to his way of thinking: there was good and there was evil, and it wasn't hard to tell the difference. If Bush didn't know much about foreign policy, that hardly mattered, and it may have helped him. Privately, Bush even talked of being chosen by the grace of God to lead at that moment, and perhaps he was. But it was also, as one of his advisers told Time, 'one of history's rare unnuanced days.'
"There is now a growing sense in the Republican Party that it is time for Bush to move on - and a growing apprehension that he cannot find the ways and means and words to do so." - now you tell us.
