No one is taking the Bushies seriously any more except the Bush babies, all 28% of them.

First they screamed it was a bad idea; then they found out she was carrying a message from the Israeli PM to the Syrian president. It was a real diplomatic mission and the Bushies were out of the loop. That sounds like the Israeli PM's idea.

So other heads of state don't think Bush can get the job done and go to the leader of another co-equal branch of government.

Normally, I would be a little concerned about the Speaker of the House going on a diplomatic mission like this. However, these are not normal times. Our presumptive president is a failure at a level that sets news standards for failure. He and his aides are nothing if they are not liars; who could blame Prime Minister Ohlmert if he has decided that no member of the executive branch under Bush can be trusted with a message of calm to the President of Syria?

In bygone ages when civilized nations were typically governed under an inherently corrupt system called monarchy, there was alway the problem of what do if the King were either a child or a demented old man incapable of making decisions. Under those circumstances, somebody would act as regent and govern the country as a crooked autocrat, just like a real king. He was called the regent.

Speaker Pelosi may have just become our President regent this week. It should be evident after six years that no one in the Bush regime knows how to govern or direct an effective foreign policy.
