STATE OF DENIAL — by Steve Nadis
President Bush is in a “state of denial” about what’s going on in Iraq, claims Senator Harry Reid. Which is certainly true since the administration has been based on denial throughout his entire term. We’re seeing that once again with embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales who has Bush’s utmost confidence, despite the fact that he is a disgrace to the office. He’s doing a tremendous job, Bush says, and has handled himself impressively under fire from the U.S. Congress, deftly answering every question that was put to him. Sure his responses consisted of either “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember,” but that, apparently, was good enough to impress our president.
Those are the answers of a great lawyer. W feels really good about his decision to hire such a good lawyer. Hence all the accolades.
You’re right, OR. How could Bush do better? He’s got a guy in there who will do all the dirty work & hang in there for as long as his boss needs him around, whereas a lesser man would have resigned.
