Our current president is suffering from post conservative backlash syndrome. You could see the frustration in his face on the Today show yesterday when Lauer grilled him on Miers. Bush cannot seem to stand being asked to explain himself on any decision he has ever made, especially one so minimal as SCOTUS.
Today he played the religion card. Harriet Miers is a qualifed candiate for the Supreme Court of the United States of America because........she's an evangelical christian like he is. Does he forget which base he pissed off with this nomination? Oh yeah, it wasn't the Dobson's or the Robertson's, it was the Will's and the Kristol's. The intellectuals vs social conservatives.
Andrew Sullivan (who's blog was thankfully back up this morning after being hacked) remarked in September he was sick of this president. Forget Clinton fatigue, Bush fatigue is already taken over most of America. We have three more years of this?
Once Fitzgerald hands down his indictments (and they are coming, maybe this week?) America will plunge into a Bush coma. He will have made a complete transformation from a president who was reelected with a majority to a Carteresque failure. Can you imagine if this was the state of the country a year ago today?
We might have had some competency in the White House.
Heaven forbid (no pun intended).
