President Pissypants is 'Unfit to Lead'
"[T]he three defining sins of the Bush Administration -- arrogance, incompetence, cynicism" make Bush "unfit to lead" writes Joe Klein of Time Magazine. And then there's the Decider's "adolescent petulance," his "indifference to reality in Iraq," and his "hyper-partisanship" -- all leading to "a travesty of governance."
Duh.
The story here is that even Joe Klein has opened his eyes. But where the f**k was Joe in 2003?
So what the hell are we going to do about it?
Time -- An Administration's Epic Collapse:
- "The three big Bush stories of 2007 -- the decision to 'surge' in Iraq, the scandalous treatment of wounded veterans at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the firing of eight U.S. Attorneys for tawdry political reasons -- precisely illuminate the three qualities that make this Administration one of the worst in American history: arrogance (the surge), incompetence (Walter Reed) and cynicism (the U.S. Attorneys)."
-- "When Bush came to office -- installed by the Supreme Court after receiving fewer votes than Al Gore -- I speculated that the new President would have to govern in a bipartisan manner to be successful. He chose the opposite path, and his hyper-partisanship has proved to be a travesty of governance and a comprehensive failure. I've tried to be respectful of the man and the office, but the three defining sins of the Bush Administration -- arrogance, incompetence, cynicism -- are congenital: they're part of his personality. They're not likely to change. And it is increasingly difficult to imagine yet another two years of slow bleed with a leader so clearly unfit to lead."
