Well gol danged. The fix is in. Yup, the Bush spinsters and PR folks have done a magnificent job of sidestepping. Any one other than me see a pettern developing here after Bush screws up of the PR and spin folks jumping in with bigger and better stories to tell. You'd think that just once in a while they'd just let him say, "Okay, folks, I screwed up." But no, every screw up has to be covered with a story.

So the story is that because the PDB didn't have the deatils of the upcoming attack that it was just some "historical" meaningless document. Hmmmmmmmm? Ask the families of those who died...

And, BTW, O'Niel and Clark? Couple of ungracious loosers, right?

It's this pattern of shooting first, or not shooting when shooting is required, and covering up the screw ups later that are beginning to take a toll on Bush and his folks. Now, Teribus, I know you are a company man and I respect that loyalty, but you don't live in the US and I don't think you see the way folks are beginning to see yer guy. I've got Bush friends who are now questioning weather or not he and his neocon gang were asleep at the wheel.

Now, of course this doesn't mean that he was and I'm willing to give him some benefit of the doubt but given his arrogence and his absolute inability to level with the people about his mis-steps, his credibility, or lack thereof, is starting to take him down. Now you know I hate polls so I won't burden you with what they are telling us about Americans feelings about Bush and 9/11 but it ain't too good fir yer guy.

But, hey, this ougtta make you feeel warm and fuzzy. 94% of elections in the US are won by the candidate with the most money to spend on the campaign and yer guy has unlimited access to Boss Hog's dough.
