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. Some of the lowlights:

I never see Newsweak in any stands anymore but I would bet the left will give them a spike with this. No question that this is a hit piece and another deliberate misunderestimating of our President.
Translation: This president does not kow tow to the beltway insiders. This president ignores the incestuous relationships of the DC life.
THAT is what newsweak is really upset about.
Put me down for Clinton as worst ever - he brought us 9/11.
No employee of Newsweek meets that standard.
What they are really saying is that President Bush doesn't sway with the polls or change course no matter how much the liberal leftists and the elite media hammer him.
It must be quite frustrating to go from 8 years of Friday afternoon cocktails supplied by the Clinton administration and being invited to all the best parties to being treated like - well like a member of the press. They are no longer handed their stories along with a drink so they file a story without having to do any work before leaving town for the weekend.
They actually have to do research now.
Actually it is the press that is isolated, not the President.
So being isolated from Eleanor Clift is a bad thing?
Jimmah Cahtah and his Dr. Strangelove National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski, quite intentionally funded and encouraged the rise of Islamic fundamentalism as a way of destabilizing the Soviet Union.
The strategy didn't succeed, but it did create a mestastacizing cancer in the Islamic world that haunts us still, and proves once again that just because someone can create a monster doesn't mean he can control the monster once created.
I don't want to excuse Clinton. He was a disaster for sure. But you mustn't overlook the enormous disaster that was James Earl Carter.
Point made. You were paying attention back then, weren't you? :o) I had forgotten about Brezinski - such an intelligent misguided man. Or perhaps I should say he was the one doing the guiding. "Cahtah" was a simpleton next to him. Oh heck, Cahtah was a simpleton next to me.
It appears that after sitting in on the Chris Matthews show "Hardball" for many years that the after effects have finally taken hold upon one Howie Fineman. Newsweek has signed on to the Matthews/Olbermann/MSNBC line.
