The latest issue of Newsweek featured an almost 4,000 word article – written by Evan Thomas and Richard Wolffe, with assistance from Holly Bailey, Daniel Klaidman, Eleanor Clift, Michael Hirsh and John Barry – that painted a pretty bleak picture of President Bush as possibly being “the most isolated president in modern history.” The authors referred to Bush as being in a “bubble” that blocks out thoughts, policy suggestions, and ideas that he is either unwilling or intellectually incapable of absorbing.

I think the authors of the article are the dumbest in modern history, and given the competition, that's scary!

He's only cutting out the voices of those who are obviously wrong, like Newsweek. To them is like being cut off from the world because they have no doubt they are at the center of it.

Wasn't it Newsweek that printed a false story about a Koran in the toilet at Club Gitmo?

same reason F9/11 made 200 million. There are tons of idiot liberals out there who get their news from these manure trucks they try to pass off as legit news sources.

Newsweek: The ignorance of its reporters is exceeded only by the dishonesty of its editors.

No, it doesn't block out anything of the sort... He just doesn't listen to the MSM, and refuses to cow-tow to them. And they hate him for it, the same way they hated Reagan, when he went around the MSM, and directly to the people.

Don't be so quick to dismiss this. It is true so long as you define modern as post 2000!

How come Bush never listens to Jimmy Carter's suggestions on how to extricate American hostages? Why doesn't he heed General Murtha's advice to redeploy our troops to Okinawa as weekend warriors? Why doesn't he listen to Sheila Jackson Lee and hide our troops in the desert so the insurgents will think we are not there? WHY, I ask, is Bush carrying a 10 foot pole?

"Wasn't it Newsweek that printed a false story about a Koran in the toilet at Club Gitmo?" Makes you wonder if their editors would have batted an eyelash if the story had reported that the guards had flushed a prisoner's bed down the toilet.
...Nothing dumber than the MSM pressies.

Translated: Our media assault on Bush is being reversed and we don't know what to do about it! We need him to try some of our bad ideas so that we can blame him when they go bad.
