If Bush's Brain resigns, will the body follow?
All this talk about Rove, Libby and (God-willing) Cheney resigning has apparently given George Bush a nervous condition as those in the know have observed rather gleefully.
It makes me wonder what will happen if his closest handlers are out of the picture. For years, we've watched his every event, speech and utterance staged...to the point where a male hooker was planted in the White House Press Corps (WHPC) to ask softball questions. The latest White House production occurred last week when one of the stage directors, The Pentagon's Allison Barber, blocked and choreographed a Presidential off-the-cuff question and answer session with some hand-picked troops in Iraq.
We all know by now what happened when the curtain was drawn back and the Wizard was revealed to be nothing more than a country bumpkin with a good memory for learning lines.
But even this showed us that the days are numbered for The Not Ready for World Leadership Players. Would Karl have missed such an obvious gaffe as forgetting that satellite feeds can be intercepted? And would he have not written a slick retort for Press Secretary McClellan in response to a surprisingly feisty WHPC?
No wonder our dear President is feeling the pressure more and more. No one told him that he would have to go it alone! Laura's adoring looks can only go so far. Condi's travelling the world. Mama's in Texas.
Maybe it's time for the George Bush to get reacquainted with his oldest and truest friend, Mr. Jim Beam!
