Bush's selection of White House counsel Harriet Miers, an unknown with no judicial experience, was no less than outright treason to the conservative cause. They wanted a fire-breathing conservative judge who would vote to send America back into the dark ages. ... Bush, who never really had to fight for anything in his life, is battered and bruised by ever-increasing setbacks to his presidency and is clearly tired... Or maybe it's the drugs and booze. ... Bush's image was just that - image. No substance, no backbone, no leadership. ... Sooner or later the façade had to crumble so the shallow frat boy, bored with yet another job he could not handle, could emerge. ... When the final chapter is written on the failed Presidency of George W. Bush, it will show the man whose only talent was an ability to point the finger of blame at others had, in the end, no one left to blame but himself. --- A Cardboard Cowboy - By Doug Thompson (at Capitol Hill Blue via Axis of Logic)
