And it wasn't even Karl Rove who did them in. (Don't they wish they had him to kick around again.) It was instead the political genius who always does them in at key moments, our fox of a president, George W. Bush. All day Tuesday he had them sent on wild goose chases. Then come 9:00 p.m. primetime, he trotted out his golden swan. Soon they were kicking themselves, as nonviolently as possible, for permitting Bush free rein, coast to coast, on every major channel and network out there. But given that they'd turned the O'Connor retirement into the biggest event since the deaths of John Lennon, Ronald Reagan, and John Paul II combined, it was only fitting that Bush rose to the occasion in naming her successor.

LOL! How beautiful is THIS??

Our stealth President at work again.........the dumb cowboy outsmarting the entire gang of bandits that are trying to destroy him. Too sweet!

Thanks for the ping, WT!

The guest list for last Monday's White House gala dinner for India's prime minister included not a single member of the mainstream media, other than Bush-friendly conservatives Fred Barnes and David Brooks, and of course Raghubir Goyal, the White House correspondent for India Globe and Asia Today.

Good, very good!
