Those are some mighty short coattails you got there...


Those of us in the Reality-Based Community have known for years that the President is a tool with limited utility, but even the Publican Party has started to figure it out.

Facing a harsher political climate than the Democrats faced in 1994, the President has taken to the campaign trail in an effort to boost some of his fellow Republicans.

He is hitting the campaign trial...From Georgia to Texas and back to Georgia again, the President appeared before three pre-screened audiences in two days, trying just to stem the tide as dissatisfaction with his administrations management of Iraq grows. That we are on a fools errand is painfully apparent, and the fool who sent us on this errand is our own president.

The war in Iraq has become the defining issue for the country. Over a hundred American military personnel have lost their lives this month alone. Violence in Iraq has spiked, killing scores every single day. Yet today, Bush stubbornly insisted that "terrorists win and America loses" if his political opponents rule the day in one week.

There is one week to the midterms, and there are a mere 812 days remaining of the Bush administration.

I am beyond being insulted by the bilge he spills. Now I'm just embarassed by him.

I've had enough. And you know the rest.
