Is Bush Out of Control?
(snip) Buy beleaguered, overworked White House aides enough drinks and they tell a sordid tale of an administration under siege, beset by bitter staff infighting and led by a man whose mood swings suggest paranoia bordering on schizophrenia.
They describe a President whose public persona masks an angry, obscenity-spouting man who berates staff, unleashes tirades against those who disagree with him and ends meetings in the Oval Office with “get out of here!”

1. That would be plus but
Nothing is disturbing their actions to exploit the disaster. Nothing is exacting any price except an early retirement from one position for one stooge.

We hurt the sociopath's feelings and attack the jello soul, the moribund character of committed cowards and ignorant rich guys. That may mean more than the system we cannot otherwise penetrate.

It always did, but the Dems spared Junior the pressure.

4. Bush doesn't control the country.
He doesn't even fucking read the newspapers or watch the news. He relies on his cronies to bring him stuff to decide on. These people according to the CIA are called "the crazies." 'Nuf said.

7. The guy who wrote that piece has a very interesting history
He is a libertarian, trending more right than left, and used to support the monkey. He was a reporter for YEARS, a drunk for many of them, in recovery for a long time now, and also did a stint as a staffer on the Hill years back. He knows EVERYONE in DC. He has sources that go back decades.

I believe Doug, I believe his sources are good, and it is likely he knows more than he publishes, for to do so might compromise a source.

9. He's no out of
control at all. He's perfectly in control of Karl Rove. Your question should be is Karl Rove out of control, the answer would be yes.

11. yes, he's particularly dangerous now, perilous time in the life of nation
The moves he's made demanding more "authority" to use the military for "law enforcement" secret detentions, cronyism rampant, illegally Davis-Bacon, you could go on and on. As Pelosi emphatically stated, he's dangerous.
