Bush, The Spoiled Man-Child
What causes the fall of empires?
Why, stubborn leaders who speak like toddlers and never admit mistakes


Know what real men do? They admit their mistakes. Know what real people do in times of great stress and strife and economic downturn? They seek help, understand they don't know all the answers, realize they might not've been asking the right questions in the first place.
Know what great leaders, great nations do at times of war and fracture and massive bludgeoning debt? All of the above, all the time, with great intelligence and humility and grace and awareness and shared humanity. Or they die.

But not BushCo. This is the hilarious thing. This is the appalling thing, still. How can this man remain so blindly, staggeringly resolute? How can he be so appallingly ignorant of fact, of truth, of evidence, of deep thought? In short, what the hell is wrong with George W. Bush?

2. A great read! And be sure and follow the press conference link in it.
Here's a sample:

The president said trying to persuade Pyongyang to abandon the program through six-nation talks was still the most likely route to success.

"We've got a lot of work to do with the North Korean because he tends to ignore what the other five nations are saying at times. But that doesn't mean we're going to stop," Bush said.

Hmmm...Pot. Kettle.
