Dowd: The Oval Intervention

[kskiska]

It is not a happy mood in the Oval Office.

Poppy is sobbing, his face in his hands, slumped in one of the yellow-and-blue striped chairs. Laura is screaming the words “Oscar de la Renta” and “rendition” into her cellphone, still seeing red after showing up at a White House gala in the same $8,400 red gown as three other women who did not happen to be first lady.

Bob Gates is grim-faced, but not as grim-faced as Barbara, whose look could freeze not only the Potomac but the Tigris and the Euphrates. Scowcroft is over on the couch, trying to nap while Kissinger drones softly in his ear.

And, of course, there is the Deprogrammer for the Decider, James Baker, perfectly suited in bright green tie and suited perfectly for his spot behind the president’s desk.

The group gathers at the door of the study. “My boy,” his dad tells him between sobs. “We love you. We’re here for you. We’re worried about you. You’re not just hurting yourself, you’re hurting others. This is a safe place. No one’s judging you …”

2. Ain't it the truth. It's like the entire country is having a case of the

guilts because they voted for a "good ol' boy" that they would like to have a beer with rather than a truly qualified, articulate, curious and thinking person to be President. Not only can't Bush admit he made a mistake, the entire country can't admit they made a mistake either, and it was a doozy.

3. it's time to bring back that sitcom about Bush

What was the name of it? Where's My Bush? I'd like to see it again to determine if they actually underplayed the script.

Once again, we wouldn't be in this mess if Whoreen and her pals didn't lie any lie for Bush in 2000! I'm still waiting for that cheap presstitute to apologize to Al Gore. Until then, I don't care what it writes...
