If Bush feels admitting a mistake undermines his manhood, then people need to tell him, “Whatever you do, don’t fire Rumsfeld,” which will ensure that Bush will then get rid of him.
Poor Rumsfeld…he’s one of the few neocons that actually served (navy pilot, 1950s), so give him that. Still doesn’t mean there isn’t photographic proof he gets his behind confused with a very large hole in the ground:

Please do not confuse megalomania with having a great mind.

Gore Vidal calls Bush The Yellow Rose of Texas - given his stellar military career which is just one of many embarrassments that have plagued George during his entire less-than illustrious life. Compared to his father, George has been a loser..

Invading and capturing Sadaam was George’s opportunity to do what his father didn’t do during the Gulf War and for which his father was roundly criticized by more bellicose Republicans.

For George, egged on by neocons who’d been pushing an Iraq invasion since ‘92 and Dick Cheney who had also come under criticism for backing out of “finishing” the Gulf War, capturing Sadaam was George’s golden opportunity to prove himself capable of doing something his father had failed to do.

Now that it is accomplished and Sadaam is headed for the hang man’s noose, George can proudly say, Mission Accomplished. The continuing Iraq war is truly not an issue for George.

Yes, Bush’s responses are very effective…….. in engendering divisiveness, and pandering to the idiocracy.

Something is kind of sweet about the Repugs now worrying about electronic vote theft.

In all the itty-bitty shifting in poll results, one statistic remains constant and grows only in an upward direction: increasing numbers join with the majority of citizens who are fed up with Bush’s Iraq war.

maybe off topic, maybe not:

President Bush made little effort to understand who had attacked us and why—thus ignoring the prerequisite for crafting an effective response

Oh, but he did! He determined that they were evildoers who hated us for our freedoms. What more do we need to know? And besides that..he is annointed of God and blessed with divine appointment..If God be for him, who can be against him?

The new wave neocon, or chickencon, would like to have his cake and eat it too. They were for the war till it got messy. Now they are against the war or like “lyin Leeden” were never for the war even though he said Iraq should be invaded “yesterday”. But don’t call them on their inconsistencies because that aint fair. At the end of the day they still need to play nice with the cons in power cause who else will have them. That’s why they claim to be upset at the Vanity Fair article.

The existing Senate Democrats, with few exceptions, are so weak that if we were to obtain a majority, or even a 50-50 split, there is no guarantee that even on a Supreme Court nominee the Dems would hold together. I think it’s going to be up to the House to show leadership in the next two years, and I’m counting on the Progressive Caucus and the Black Caucus for some progressive leadership.

I think McCain will be the big loser when the Dems take the House. Many popular bills will pass the House forcing McCain to show his true colors by voting against them or angering the hard-right Rep base he is trying to court for the primaries.

If I had to choose, I’d have to go with the Senate for one reason: Supreme Court.

On borrowing, I’m more inclined to “great minds think alike”.
