Bush doesn't read newspapers. He obviously isn't a student of history. And now even the cowed media is beginning to tell us the truth -- he's the boy in the bubble. Today's New York Times article tells us he met with the G-8 foreign ministers for exactly 8 minutes (60 seconds per country?) then made a hasty departure, taking no questions. The big "summit" with the Republicans last week? 35 minutes of Bush speaking, no questions allowed.
The truth, via Lincoln Chafee (R-RI): ""The president talked about being humble when he was running for office," Mr. Chafee said, "but the opposite seems to be true."
Not humble, not smart. Here's what ABC reports some of the other Republicans were doing during that interminable 35 minutes: "Will the president find out that Time magazine reports that during last week's pep talk on the Hill, members "checked e-mail on their BlackBerrys or read newspapers on their laps while Bush rambled"?" (emphasis added)
I just watched the speech. Just like I predicted, there's no there there. No plan, no change of course. Worst of all, no admitting the truth, that it's a disaster. Stay the course, damn the consequences.
I need a drink.
