That was an excellent article. Unusual for the WashPost.

Actually this Jim VandeHei nails every point of the story and how it relates to the Bush adminstration recent struggles and poor public opinion ratings. Not only does Bush&Comopany ignore the press, they ignore the GOP controlled Congress too. LOL Republicans are finally seeing that Bush has used them to pass spending increases on education, transportation, agriculture and energy that have busted the budget for non-defense related discretionary appropriations. At the same time, welfare and entitlment spending has gone through the roof under Bush. The new prescription drug program for seniors places Bush in the same class with LBJ and Medicare, and FDR with Social Security. All advocates of big government.

No kidding.

Here's the thing, though: Reading this article it's easy to see that it's really the 'moderates' (read: liberals) who are trying to make hay out of the President's current difficulties.

They accurately describe the problems, and then offer their insane fix: more liberals advising the Commander-in-Chief.

The right course for George W. Bush? Fire Andy Card and everyone who comes close to thinking like him. Then hire every hardcore conservative he can apologize enough to to gain their support. :-)

Then govern like a conservative for two years.

No matter how far he gets, at least he'll get to have a whole lotta fun! LOL...

Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.) recently contacted White House officials and implored them to bring aboard a former lawmaker as a new chief diplomat to Congress. Lott floated several names, including former senators Daniel R. Coats (R-Ind.) and Slade Gorton (R-Wash.). It "would be a good idea" to have someone with real stature working Congress on Bush's behalf, Lott said. Former Senate majority leader Howard H. Baker Jr. (R-Tenn.) told CBS on Wednesday that he did the same in a phone call to Bush Chief of Staff Andrew H. Card Jr., offering the name of former senator Fred D. Thompson (R-Tenn.). Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.), who won his seat in 2002 after a late push by Bush, told the Associated Press this week that the president should shake up the staff more broadly, accusing the White House of having a political "tin ear." That was seen by some top White House aides as a wake-up call, because Coleman has been such a loyal Bush backer.

An attempt at the world's record for fitting the most RINOs in one paragraph...

Medicare is not the only thing Bush has in common with LBJ. Don't let us forget spending on everything, not to mention a long never-ending war based on dubious Intel costing hundreds of Billions.
All on borrowed money.
I also noticed that no mention has yet been made of Conservative Voters being called numerous nasty names by the WH occupants. We are supposed to just shut up and trust...

Unusual? I'd say it was the usual Bush Bash. How quickly we forget. The WaPo's sole purpose in publishing is to elect dems. This article is no different than all their others. Bash Bush long enough and hard enough and finally, they can even get FReepers to agree with them. Divide and conquer is not new.
