Shrub Crapped on the Repuke Caucus Today----- Dey Not Happy
LOTT and Lindsay GRAHAM were on Faux denying that they had been crapped on. What's new about this. Shrub has deigned to meet with his congressional Repukes before and royally refused to "discuss" or to take questions.

BUSH FLOPS
I'm hearing that Bush flopped in his meeting with congressional Republicans. He gave them a pep talk, telling them how good the economy is and how determined he is to prevail in Iraq. Then he didn't take any questions and left. The members, expecting a more substantive session, were disappointed. ....


RE: BUSH FLOPPED
Someone explain the logic of him being so on at Concordia College last week (you must read that speech if you have not) and going to the Hill and just agitating more for no good reason. I feared it was a bad omen for today when he seemed so grouchy (understandably) about his energy plan being held up in Congress yesterday. The man is a leader, it's so frustrating when that is not communicated. John Podhoretz had the right idea--his book remains a must-read for this election--the other day when he wrote that Bush needs to be bold. With all the negative media (I know, I know, "Bush Flopped" doesn't help, right? But we don't work for the campaign here.), he needs to rise above, and, in many ways, be himself. He's a gutsy guy with the right instincts.

That said, I was very down an hour or so ago about all of this--what will happen after the handover, what that will do to Bush in November, hearing Nancy Pelosi in my head...and then...I gave Victor Davis Hanson a good read. Soul food I tell you. He'll see you tomorrow morning...

Pulease. They tell us that and tell us that he is a leader. All I have seen is a poor bus driver taking us all over a cliff. Sorry NR gang, that isn't leadership.

4. Well Bush has no one left to crap on....
He crapped on the poor,
the old,
the students,
the teachers,
the Democrats
the environmentalists
the Unions
the working man and woman

So now he goes after his own party. If John McCain would jump in now, the repugs would jump ship like swimmers in a pool after finding a floater.
