The Bush Era is over. The sooner politicians in both parties realize that, the better for them -- and the country.

Recent months, and especially the past two weeks, have brought home to a steadily growing majority of Americans the truth that President Bush's government doesn't work. His policies are failing, his approach to leadership is detached and self-indulgent, his way of politics has produced a divided, angry and dysfunctional public square. We dare not go on like this.

Who's E. J. Dionne?

[Terpfen]

Good to know the DNC "Bush is kaput" talking points are still circulating.

...his way of politics has produced a divided, angry and dysfunctional public square.

EJs speaking of the American hating socialists of course

Just one more elitist @sshole.

The media now thinks that it is powerful enough to overthrow the presidency. Perhaps the CNN CEO should take over? It's a great idea except for that little thing called the Constitution. The media needs to realize that Bush isn't going up for reelection anymore. He doesn't care what the media says about him. The people of America selected him, and thats all the approval he needs.

Yeah, it was working just fine in Fall 2000...

NOT.

[exDemMom]

Odd. Last I heard, President Bush still has another 3 years in office.

May the American people have the wisdom to elect another Republican to keep the country out of the hands of people such as this EJ Dionne.

[elhombrelibre]

Pat Buchanan without the former Republican label.

[mainepatsfan]

They said the same thing about Reagan in 1983. How'd that work out for them?

[wita]

Where the heck is the barf alert? I shouldn't have to stomach this at this hour of the morning.

[johnny7]

Hint: He talks like Barney Frank.

[abb]

LOL. My orange juice was sort of sour this morning, too. However, "E. J. Dionne" is an automatic barf alert.

[johnny7]

Pat doesn't wear a thong... last I heard.

[Troublemaker]

Who's E. J. Dionne?

This is what an E.J. Dionne looks like.

This is what a man looks like.

[wita]

I'll know better next time. I just jumped on this one without looking at the author, until after my sour stomach.

[conservativepoet]

Aren't these the people who predicted 10,000 dead in New Orleans? A group of very dumb people.

Allow me to make that a liitle more accurate:
