Desperation creeping like kudzu over the Repubs...

:) Even the most hardcore freepers are starting to lose faith in the invincibility of their chosen leader, George W Bush. Reality is starting to intrude upon their neocon fantasy world. Actions do have consequences. Wars do have casualties. Words do have meaning. Everything does not go according to plan or schedule.

The bright light of truth is beginning to block their vision of Shangrila. George W Bush is not the great leader they imagined. He is a liar and a politician, an unpalatable combination. A politician full of empty words and promises. A leader without a direction. A man whose clothes have vanished and now stands naked before the world. But a man that chose his own poison.

8. James Wolcott has an apt description of the "little big man"

We've seen President Twitchy before. When Helen Thomas persisted in asking Bush why he was trying to tear down the walls between church and state, and wouldn't be sluffed off with one of his standard nonanswers, Bush, as I wrote in Attack Poodles, went through a battery of irked expressions that ended with him imitating Tony Perkins in the final shot of Psycho, looking as if he had a fly on his nose.

Since then Bush has been wheeled out into forums where no one can dare question or contradict his majesty, where he can lean forward and repeat ad nauseam his patented soundbites. Last night I believe we saw the ugly comeback of the private face of Bush--the irritable expressions he flashes subordinates when he's presented with information he doesn't like or feels someone's taken up too much of his time or is pressed to explain himself to people he shouldn't have to explain himself to because he's the president and fuck you. The notion that Bush is "likeable" has always been laughable. It takes a Washington pundit to be that dumb. He's an angry, spoiled, resentful little big man--I use "little big man" in the Reichian sense of a small personality who puffs himself up to look big through bluster and swagger but remains a scheming coward inside--and next to a genuinely big man like Kerry, shrunk before the camera's eyes.
