The Bubble Boy in the Oval Office
The first rule of the Iraq disaster is that you don't talk about the Iraq disaster.
Poppy's pals protecting Preznit Poopypants from his own pathetic pinheadedness -
Now that the Baker-Hamilton report is out, the commissioners are carefully patronizing the commander in chief. As [the LA Times] reported, "Members of the commission said they were pleased that Bush gave them as much attention as he did, a full hour's worth. 'He could have scheduled us for 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for the cameras,' said former Atty. Gen. Ed Meese."
Wow, a commission devoted hundreds or thousands of man-hours to addressing the central conundrum of U.S. foreign policy, and the president gave them a whole hour of his time!
In return for these considerations, the commission generously avoided revisiting the whole question of who got us into this fiasco and how. As the Washington Post put it, "The panel appeared to steer away from language that might inflame the Bush administration."
"Now kin ah go??"
