Cut On The Bias

There are a lot of reasons to love the New York Times, but their ability to call President Bush dumb in the subtlest of ways is what really keeps me coming back. In an article published today about Prezbo's reaction to the Iraq Study Group's general drubbing of his war strategy (the s- word used obviously sparingly), they wore their faded Call Bush Dumb T-shirt in especially bitchy mode:

“'You wanted frankness — I thought we would succeed quicker than we did,' the president said to a British reporter who asked for candor."

If only they had let the recorder run long enough to hear, "If you remember, we asked for candor, stupid!"

As the potency of the Bush regime continues to fade, is anyone else noticing the surprisingly mellower essence of lovable loser? Bush-bashing is hardly even fun anymore!
