"The epic collapse of the Bush administration"
Holy shit.... though the headline should read "Sycophantic hack wakes up in real world; discovers his sense of outrage, testicles"
The three big Bush stories of 2007 -- the decision to "surge" in Iraq, the scandalous treatment of wounded veterans at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the firing of eight U.S. Attorneys for tawdry political reasons--precisely illuminate the three qualities that make this Administration one of the worst in American history: arrogance (the surge), incompetence (Walter Reed) and cynicism (the U.S. Attorneys)....
On April 3, the President again accused Democrats of being "more interested in fighting political battles in Washington than providing our troops what they need." Such demagoguery is particularly outrageous given the Administration's inability to provide our troops "what they need" at the nation's premier hospital for veterans. The mold and decrepitude at Walter Reed are likely to be only the beginning of the tragedy, the latest example of incompetence in this Administration.
[Bush'a] hyper-partisanship has proved to be a travesty of governance and a comprehensive failure. I've tried to be respectful of the man and the office, but the three defining sins of the Bush Administration -- arrogance, incompetence, cynicism -- are congenital: they're part of his personality. They're not likely to change. And it is increasingly difficult to imagine yet another two years of slow bleed with a leader so clearly unfit to lead.

After reading (being able to stomach without retching) Joke Line's articles in Time, the Neocon pamphlet of propaganda, that have auto-fellated (knee-jerk blow jobs) every move of Bush's misadministration, one can only surmise that AIPAC has decided Bush is too incompetent to conduct the rest of the invasions of Middle East countries Israel wishes the US to strong arm, and has allowed it's Mockingbird talkingheads to stick the knife in.
Ides of March, and all that.
