Bush can lead them to water but he can`t make them drink.
Some of the glow is gone from the aura surrounding Junior Bush. Even his phony backdrops aren`t working...you know, the ones emblazoned with take-charge words about our security or our children`s classrooms. His crown has some jewels missing. Not so much sparkle lately. Quite a change for a guy who used to hold Americans captive in his revival tent. Guess you really can`t fool all of the people all of the time.

I would like to have been a fly on the wall observing the very moment it hit him, when he realized that after living an entire life without stop signs, a resounding "NO" was coming at him from all directions. Bet it shook him up a bit, especially when the hot lights of truth started melting that precarious bully facade. Bush`s baited "Bring it on!" ended up in the same scrap pile as My Pet Goat when enough Americans questioned the difference between his talking points and their reality.

Hillary may find Bush "charming" and "charismatic" but I find him dangerous, especially when he`s losing. Democrats who find no honor in the go-along-to-get-along approach, those who believe we`ve maximized the sell-out limit, should keep the heat on until Bush has been stripped of every last comeback hope.

1. Maybe your subject line should read
Bush can lead them to Kool-Aid but he can't make them drink.
