Bush thinks Scalito & border security will distract you from war, CIA leak

A card-carrying member of the Washington GOP establishment with close ties to the White House recently encountered several senior presidential aides at a dinner and came away shaking his head at their "no problems here" mentality.

"There is just no introspection there at all," he said in exasperation. "It is everybody else's fault - the press, gutless Republicans on the Hill. They're still in denial."

Not ready to throw in the towel and declare the boss a lame duck, the Bushies are hoping two issues can help firm up their base and perhaps make inroads with centrists who voted for Bush: the anticipated confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito, and a plan to reinforce the border with Mexico to help stop illegal immigration.

This week Bush will begin to press the border security issue, while Alito's Senate confirmation hearings start early next year. Aides hope those issues will draw attention away from the war and leak probe.

1. No way. We've had border issues for years. We've had SCOTUS appts.

But the illegal war and the CIA leak = big stuff!

2. We're big boys and girls - we can do both and MORE at the same time!

Unlike most repukes.

We have not had any problem for 5 1/2 years, why should it be a problem now?

Unless some white pampered rich girl goes missing again - the whore media may go off on the chase like a stupid dog (no offense to dogs), but we can be like blood hounds and remain on the scent at all times without distraction.
