Bush's loyalty raises doubts about his political judgment

"It seems that President Bush is falling into the Nixon trap - his administration can do no wrong. His allies and people who support him can do no wrong," said Robert Dallek, a presidential historian. "Palmeiro is above suspicion, Rove is not to be questioned, John Bolton is a stand-up guy.

"The danger is he divorces himself from public reality, political reality, and it erodes his ability to lead the country," Dallek said.

It's not that his administration can do no wrong. It's that he can do no wrong. If he picked these people for his administration or for his friends, thay are, by definition, good people who are above suspicion. To sayotherwise would be to admit that his judgment is imperfect and that is impossible. Dear Leader is an infallible child.

Kind of says it all, doesn't it. No... It doesn't really. The biggest problem with Bush is that he is an "encouraged spoiled child."

He was asleep at the switch on 9/11 and he gets a pass. (Blame the failure to stop Al Quaeda on Clinton). He spends the Vietnam years drinking mint juleps and whatever other intoxicant of choice he wanted, and then in 2004, it was Kerry who had the questionable war record. He steals two elections, and NOOOO it was the Democrats who played dirty... He lies about the reasons for invading Iraq, and in a ridiculous revision of history... The reasons changed. A CIA Agent is outed, and the Husband, no reporters, no Who's Who via the Husband... is at fault. Bush has been empowered by the Wizbangs, Powerlines and Wall Street Journal OP/Ed pages for five years. Like a spoiled child he has pressed the boundaries each time, and delighted when he got away with it.

He has absolutely ZERO incentive to tell the truth, to admit fallibility or to acknowledge failure. His faithful supporters shield him from any sense of responsibility. But the day of reckoning is coming. With the sense of invulnerability, has come sloppiness, and cracks have appeared in the armor. Despite frantic and often irrational efforts by the Powerline's and Wizbangs of the blogsphere to spin administration scandals, the American People, including a Great Many Republicans are starting to lose patience. This is evident not only by Bush's falling poll numbers, but by the defection of major Conservative Bloggers and Journalist, who just cant tow the party line anymore... or perhaps it is that they cant stomach the stench... Whatever the case, the tide is changing, slowly but surely, and if the country is to be saved, it will be a combination of Progressives and disaffected Conservatives who lead the fight.
