WTF Is It Now?!?

This was last year. Today it's supposed to be in the 50s. Again.

Yoinks!
Poor, poor Poopypants: Opposition to Iraq plan leaves Bush a petulant, isolated diptard.

The bipartisan opposition to the [Decider's ill-conceived war-escalation] plan has proved more intense than his advisers hoped and has left them scrambling to find support, but the White House is banking on the assumption that it can execute its "new way forward" in Iraq before Congress can derail it...

Without Bush making the case for it until last week, resistance hardened, and aides now harbor no hope of winning over Democrats. Instead, they aim mainly to keep Republicans from abandoning him further.

Even neocon Bill Kristol, editor of the Weekly Touchhole, sounded vaguely disgusted:

Kristol, a strong proponent of sending more troops, expressed aggravation at the White House for not showing more urgency about getting Lt. Gen. Petraeus dispatched to the region as the new Middle East commander. Asked why it hasn't happened, Kristol said: "Because it's the Bush administration. Maybe you haven't noticed -- they're not the most competent at executing the war."

Or at much of anything else.
