The last paragraph of the article says:
McKinnon said if anything Bush thrives under the pressure. "I've never seen the president burdened by the presidency," he said. "He's built to deal with really big events. It's in his DNA."
Yeah, right. Look at the photo of Bush and then try to tell people that.

But noooo. You had to get re-elected, and show your old man. Dumbass.
Posted by dj moonbat at September 24, 2005 04:25 AMI always suspected that Bush had always been drinking. He has never stopped.
One notices that one never, ever hears of another person choking on a pretzel. Then one passes out and whaps your head good but magically the choking stops and conciousness is regained?
[shrugs] The idiocy of this country is profound. What can I say? I don't like being negative and a crank. Lord knows I'd love to be a beacon of hope. The truth is that we have three more years of this idiot, and the chances that we are already in a terminal spin-out from it are extremely high.
Did John Kerry really know what was at stake last year? I truly do not think so. He certainly, inexplicably, had no idea whom he was truly dealing with. God, John we had to win last year.

I can guarantee you that Bush is an abusive man, whether at home or leading this Nation, and Laura Bush doesn't tell him squat. The only influence Stepford Wife Laura has is whether he "gets some" on any given night.
Posted by Judith at September 24, 2005 05:49 AMWow, the official blame game (from FOB) for the multitude and magnitude of the failures of this lame duck presidency has begun! Notice it appears the only person that no one blamed of faulted for this failed presidency was their demiGod Junior himself. However that in itself is truly revealing. That ommision pretty much tells you that his "strong, steady, leadership" really was what many here figured out long ago. It was just a creation of his handlers and puppetmasters!
Wonder if those who frequent this site and still defend him to the hilt will ever realize they've been duped! Presidenting is hard work even harder when it's all just a creation.

What paradox said about John Kerry only scratches the surface. I'm in despair about the state of the Democratic Party -- inept, pathetic, and clueless are the descriptions that come to mind.
Karl Rove only looks like a genius because of the incompetence of the Democrats. Right now, Bill Clinton is one of the few Dems who seem to have a clue. It's starting to make me look favorably on Hillary, because it would give the Big Dog a chance at a behind-the-scenes do-over.

Posted by larry at September 24, 2005 08:26 AMYou can tell a lot about a fellow's character by the way he eats jelly beans.
- Ronald Reagan
It is a very black day for republicans, conservatives and christians, discovering, apparently for the first time, that their Dear Leader is not only human after all, but a pathetic specimen of humanity. The cardboard image has been removed, and the stage lights are bright and hot. Georgie has upset the apple cart, and even First Laura has turned her back. Cheney is running the show, no longer attempting to hide his disgust of a person he has always considered a craven, moronic, egotistical, deluded, paranoid idiot. And he is referring to Junior, not himself.
His only friends these days are Mr. Snow and J.D. They are loyal, but they seem to do more harm than good. These friendships have so distressed the few remaining camp followers that it was decided to send Georgie to Northern Command to “regain the swagger”, and, incidentally, go through forced military detox.
His father is so disgusted with him that he prefers the company of Billy Clinton these days. Some of HWB’s friends claim this is simply Alzheimer’s, but his close friends say no, he simply cannot stand his incredibly inept, clueless son. He doesn’t even support Junior’s war.
It is truly beyond belief that some Americans, so blinded by their faith and gullibility, would actually allow a person of such poor character to determine not only the fate of the United States, but of many parts of planet Earth. Don’t just blame Junior, blame yourselves. Your desire to dictate the behavior and control the lives of all Americans resulted in your electing a government of blatant criminals. A group run by the worst of the stinking pile, Dick(head) Cheney, and his ventriloquist dummy, Dumbya. You could have elected someone respectable like Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, or Rex Humbard, but no, you wanted Georgie. And now you will choke on your choice, and By Jehovah, you will, you pathetic hypocrites. You obviously weren’t to careful about what you wished for, were you?
Can Georgie be reformed. No. There is nothing to reform. The transmutation of shit still leaves one with shit. The only thing they can do with him is keep him at Camp David and the ranch and shun him, or bring on the Night of the Long Knives. I have an innate desire to gloat over this, but that is simply wrong. These are very sad days for America, in that we have not only allowed this to happen, but were involved, even passively, in the train wreck. Not voting is as bad as voting for the Keystone Kops.
It may be to late to reverse the damage that has been done, but at least it can be stopped. It was a truly black day in 1998 when Rove discovered how to cheat on the jelly bean test.
re: Laura's got more balls than Dubya
no no no. Laura is an idiot, "Corrina" and all that.
Gammy Bush is an idiot too. The fact that the WH is trotting out the women for damage control means Rove has lost it. Please, please somebody find a way to get the twins on camera. Call me twisted. I want to see a total meltdown of the WH, special election, etc.
It's so sad to see a great leader dragged down into the dust. Actually, it's not. It's fucking hilarious.
Posted by grytpype at September 24, 2005 08:43 AMYou know I just posed the same thing on another blog...What I found most vile about this piece is how it doesn't really talk to any real critics of the preznit, or anyone who would say that the swagger was full of shit to begin with, or something like that...A classic piece where David Gergen supplies "balance."

Posted by Bailey at September 24, 2005 08:49 AMThat picture looks almost like a parody of Rembrandt's 'Syndics of the Cloth Guild". But, I doubt anyone would try to sell cigars with that crew on the box cover.
Seriously, it's sad but true that the only reason the Rove group looked so effective is because the Cahill group was not. The internet is the best hope for the survival of American democracy at this point. As it is mostly outside the global corporate controlled box, unlike the beltway Dems. and the MSM, its message can be clear and the fund raising potential is limited only by our willingness to work. It's good to hear from paradox again, I hope his work with Louise Slaughter is going well.
One thing I must add from reading the postings is that no one should underestimate al Quieda. Yes, the Bushites are incompetent as Steve's article notes, but much of the moslem world directly or indirectly supports getting "infedels" (us) out of the lands that they consider their own. A more competent American president wouldn't make a difference by continuing to persue the current middle easrern policy. Someone noted recently that the gurrillas fought the Russians for over ten years and as there is basically an unlimited number of volenteers for jihad or holy war from the moslem world, they will keep fighting as long as we are there. If you notice, when we kill or capture a major al Quieda leader, it doesn't make a difference. Another leader takes their place seamlessly. The current American policy in the middle east and elsewhere is full of ripping seams, and the whole world, not just America, is beginning to notice.
Posted by rlp at September 24, 2005 08:50 AMScrew you ass-wipe. Bush won (twice). You lost. You'll lose again in 06 and 08.

AS more refineries are off line and Americans pay and pay at the pump and will pay and pay this winter to heat their homes, you see the mask come off the skull's face. The only reason they got away with it was not just cowardly out of touch dems who couldn't get media attention if they stripped and ran through the streets of washington en masse, but the media whose corporate whore bosses decided to throw pablum at the populace for years, treating all of us as if we are gullible morons. One finds oneself screaming at the tv radio etc not just because of what was reported( which is totally ridiculous garbage) but how they thought they could say and show what they did and we would just swallow it whole acceptingly.
The wheels fell of of this buggy long ago, it has been thumping along on the rims for quite a while and the country/media just noticed. A few like Hagel said so, more ,like Kristol, pretend they are so ideologically pure and it was just a failure of execution. Lower than pond scum all of them. We wondered what it would take to get people to see. It was not a single event but the collective weight of a year after the election the administration is still trying to go off on ideological crusades-picking battles over Schiavo,gays,pledge of allegiance-( because the structure of the rightwing is designed for just that- pushing ideas not implementation- as if there is an invisible hand that will take their bogus ideas and make them work in the real world). Unfortunately the real world did not join the party and it did not get the memo and it did not go along.When GHW was running for reelection in 1992 a whale washed up on the beach of his Kenebunkport home died and began to stink. The Secret Service tried to no avail to get rid of it and it washed back in and the smell would not go away. With Jr the sea has risen again, hitting the oil infrastructure and millions of lives. The stink will not go away.
The Needle has a great point.
You know they're desperate when they're blaming the idiot's wife. Laura Bush, she's a regular Delilah. Jesus, these people are sick.
Posted by Brian Bell at September 24, 2005 09:54 AMNext time, a president brings up privatizing social security, demand to see the prospectus.
Don't ever forget that Bush wanted Americans to make one of the biggest changes in American history without providing any real discussion.
We are the biggest class of investors in the world and the president never gave us the same basic information given to every investor in the US stock market. As the biggest class of investors in the world, we are entitled to and can pay for the best information available to the clients of Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch.
We needed cash flow and risk analyses. We needed a analysis of the short and long term impact of guaranteed market funding on share prices. We needed a a long term forecast of the world economy. We needed an analysis of the conflict between government and corporate policies. Etc., etc., etc.
If investing social security money into the stock market is such a great idea, let the president give us his studies prepared by financial experts.
The Republicans want to invest our money without one word as to how the concentration of hundreds of billions of dollars into one segment of the US economy would affect us.
Remember, even the investors in Pets.com were entitled to a prospectus.

Posted by Ron at September 24, 2005 11:04 AMThe only influence Stepford Wife Laura has is whether he "gets some" on any given night.
Judith--Please. Bush drank that part of his life away, long ago. My guess is that if the Repubs hadn't stolen the election again, Laura'd be divorcing him as we type.
(And of course they stole the election. Anyone who believes otherwise must truly hate this country and the people in it, to actually believe a majority of us would be stupid enough to vote for Bush.)
Posted by Molly, NYC at September 24, 2005 11:05 AMI think Laura sees that despite the showboating that came with Iraq, the whole legacy thing is severely lacking at the moment AND that Bush will go down in history as perhaps the most despised president ever, both domestically and internationally.
This is what happens when you run a hollow election machine in place of real leadership. It wins at the polls and then leads the nation into disaster.
The various interests behind the scenes have no care at all what Bush' legacy will be and they are merely content to use him as a front for their pillaging anc crackpot projects.
I think Laura sees this and should be in panic mode right about now.
Posted by Babar at September 24, 2005 11:10 AMThe Republicans want to invest our money without one word as to how the concentration of hundreds of billions of dollars into one segment of the US economy would affect us.
Well, considering that the last election was close enough to steal, they thought that no one would question anything again. I guess that most people pay closer attention to their finiancial future than to their political future. Maybe these four years will teach enough people that both matter and the next election won't be stealable.

Posted by Fiddler at September 24, 2005 11:44 AMHey, Wycliffe, when the Reps "cut and run" in time for the 2006 elections, are you going to call the Reps liars also?
Posted by ann at September 24, 2005 12:08 PMWe think it quite foolish for anybody to claim, either Team Kerry or for that matter Team Gore were inept during the election cycles of 2000 and 2004. The problem for them was that they had character and were unwilling to go tip for tat into the muck in the face of an extremely hostile media environment.
Frankly as President Jimmy Carter has recently admitted, Team Gore actually won in 2000. It is quite likely any serious investigation into Florida and Ohio would have found the same true for Team Kerry in 2004.
How did we get here? Did we really elect Team Bush? No. The money men and corporate interests picked Bush, and the media aided and abetted in anyway they possibly could. It wasn't until the bills have started to come due, that these guys are realizing their gigantic misplay. Team Bush showed the world they were the most ruthless and whorish bastards and they were rewarded with their current position. Much as Rove was awarded the headship of the college republicans early in life by George Bush Sr.
Now having read this, fellow commentors, stop pissing on the Dem Teams of the past and learn some things.
Facism is too expensive and innefficient a system of either corporate or political government to be of use for any extended period of time. The maintenance costs of this system inevitanly consume all the resources of the entity being governed. Facism fundamentally cannot scale to handle multiple simultaneous challenges nor can it adapt its decsions making apparatus effectively to meet the continually changing nature of challenges of the modern world.
Those who backed Team Bush thinking of empire and emporers willlfully fooled themselves into a untenable fantasist position and it has taken 5 years of criminal mismanagement and an unbelievable number of man hours by those outside the circles of influence to awaken them to this.
To those of the moneyed class, take a close look at the psychopaths you have chosen as your standard bearers, and how little they can actually accomplish beyond convincing you personally of their virtue and accomplishment.
You decided to circle the wagons and end the enterprises in the 90's that were bleeding red with no hope of profitablity, its time to put this dog down as well.
Posted by patience at September 24, 2005 12:09 PMSomeone has subsituted decaf where the espresso jar is.
This is no time to see comfort in delusion. Bush is on plan, on target and reaping tremendous profit for his friends and family. Laura Bush means nothing to this charge. The drinking and the cocaine are the stories most Americans can relate to...nothing more.
Keep your eye on the ball. The ball is:
Movement and hiding of monies worldwide and destabilisation of America as a first class country. The polarisation of political powers heavily influenced by forms that appear to be pure chaos...both war and weather, are the tools of control.
Be vigilant about remembering what has happened and pay attention when people talk about rising gas prices and lowering civil rights. Do not dwell on the distractions of National Inquirer garden variety "news."

Posted by Indy at September 24, 2005 12:31 PMRegarding the previous mention of Bush "choking on a pretzel" - I don't think he was drunk. I think he had a minor stroke and they hid it from us!
Watch him when he talks - the left corner of his mouth turns down and that part of his face never moves.
I've seen a few stroke victims and that sure looks like a typical stroke effect to me. And of course they'd much rather say he choked on a pretzel and passed out (like anyone really BELIEVED that?) no matter how stupid it sounds than that he had a stroke.
Even Skippy's handlers know he can't afford to lose any more brain cells.

Posted by at September 24, 2005 01:32 PMWell, all evidence is to the contrary, Mr Schroeder.
All one needs do is read GAO, BLS, or Census data to show that somehow, miraculously perhaps, people without yachts or a cancerous dislike of their fellow man and his differences, seem to do better under Democratic Government than they do under your favored kind. And yes, the yacht captains and the cranks also gain, but that is a byproduct of Democratic belief that all are citizens, therefore all must be considered.
That is to say, they don't..
1. Trust Government or Corporations blindly.
2. Disguise Anger, Avarice, Sloth and Gluttony as policy.
Nearly catatonic and unable to communicate coherently, their minds ravaged by insanity, these "journalists" would be rendered unemployable by anyone but cable news.

Hey, John Schroeder, where are you? I was telling my friends that I found some dude that is still sticking up for Bush. They didn't believe me, said I wuz on drugs or something. Could you come back and post some more of that shit?
Posted by 23skidoo at September 25, 2005 01:52 AMTo J Shroeder, upthread.
Economically, we are still stuck in the same range as we were some 2 years ago, and not growing very quickly at all. Work is spotty and spasmodic in several sectors, with defense and energy ;eading the way.
However, economy or no economy, Bush's incompetent leadership is hurting the nation. So I have to ask you Mr. Shroeder, Why do you hate America? Bush's incompetence and poor leadership is killing Americans on our own shores, and you like it? Why?
Being a Repub or conservative is no excuse to hate your country.
