I think that this is what FR has always been -- hopefully a truth-seeking site, with a healthy application of humor.
The piece has some darned funny lines in it, and I don't think it's firehat's fault if W has given him so much material.
There has always been a battle here between "principles" and "party". This is no different.
I have been a huge Bush supporter since his first inauguration. But, man, I sure can laugh at a piece like this. Again, it's not the writer's fault that events have been so generous.
I read it a different way, I guess.
