It 's ironic that a president who has made his political living by ruthlessly and relentlessly scaring the American people over their security, is now having the same technique used against him by election-fearing Republicans, running furiously from his latest mind-numbing performance. Remember the strangely timed "color coded alerts " to distract us every time the corruption of his administration showed its skirts?
A week ago, the Jackson Hole Guide ran a front page headline, "Bush Unaware of Port Pact. " At the time I thought, if you eliminated the last three words of the headline, you
would have described his entire presidency.
On February 25th, Reuters wrote a headline on their UAE story, "What didn 't the president know and when didn 't he know it? " A friend wrote me that this Reuters lead described the entire Bush term of office in just eleven words, while leaving out the bombast, hypocrisy and incompetence.
