Poor Bush had a week that reeked

BY THOMAS M. DEFRANK
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU CHIEF

WASHINGTON - For a wounded President locked in a lethal downward spiral ever since his reelection, it was the cruelest week of all.

Not since Bill Clinton forlornly insisted that "the President is still relevant" after being trounced in the 1994 mid-term elections has a President struggled so hard to salvage his political traction.

In 72 hours last week, a bipartisan commission harshly repudiated Bush's Iraq policy. Incoming Secretary of Defense Robert Gates told senators the U.S. isn't winning the war. Then a British journalist snarkily asked at a White House press conference if Bush weren't "in denial" about Iraq.

For good measure, a new poll found only 27% of Americans back his Iraq policy, a new low. And a moderate GOP senator termed the policy "absurd" and possibly criminal.

"He'll be fine but he can't be doing very good," said a well-placed Bush source who talks with the President often. "It's been a terrible year, and it keeps getting worse."

Yet Bush is described by another recent visitor as still resolutely defiant, convinced history will ultimately vindicate him.

"I'll be dead when they get it right," he said during an Oval Office meeting last week.

1. From his lips to God's ears

what a maroon.

[Turbineguy]

2. "It's been a terrible year, and it keeps getting worse."

new GOP responsibility idea:

blame "the Year"

[JuniperLea]

4. And yet they "stay the course"!

And it keeps getting worse... and they stand around scratching their asses and wondering why the hell that is.

[Olney Blue]

3. Rationalize away, blivet. Worst. president. ever.

[Greybnk48]

5. History will NOT be kind to this pr*ck.

He's completely delusional.

[The Count]

6. "The White House is totally constipated,"

"There's not enough adult leadership, and the 30-year-olds still think it's 2000 and they're riding high."

[Lasthorseman]

7. Why oh why

Can we not get more exRussian irradiated spies on the whitehouse guest list?

[clydefrand]

8. In that case, I hope like hell they can get it right very soon. n/t

[Ilsa]

16. From his lips to God's ears. nt

[MoonRiver]

9. That maniac will never stop, unless he's stopped. He's just too stupid.

I really believe that Repub voices will join with Dems' demanding his removal, and the end to our involvement in Iraq. It's the only hope the Repukes have to retain any power in Washington.

[ddbaj]

10. lol!

They'll get it right: Worst.ever.

[Jacobin]

11. This is what is wrong with having someone who believes in

soothsayers and magic and who talks to fictional beings and listens to fictional beings in the WH.

In other words, he's fucking nuts

[liberal N proud]

12. It will take until he is dead before the historians can fix the re-writing of history

This regime has re-written history and it will take many years for historians to uncover all that they have changed and lied about.

[brook]

13. Hey bunnypants. Did ya know DUers'

have been dead-right from the git-go? You're a loser and a liar, bub. Worst. President. Ever.

That's all anyone's ever going to remember about you.

[hyphenate]

14. I have a new theory

and it's getting credence more and more every day. That theory says that Bush is taking it for the team. That HE will be the sole scapegoat when this is all over. I think that's wrong, personally, and while I know that Bushie boy is up to his ears in it, but I will not abrogate the same responsibility in other members of this administration, especially Rove and Cheney, who are just as culpable as Bush. We must never forget that, especially if the press decides that he is the sole one responsible. He is only one head of the Hydra, which includes many, many more heads than we ever can imagine.

[spanone]

15. Wishful thinking from the Idiot Son of an Asshole.

[JackBeck]

17. It will be interesting to see if he has the same attitude once he realizes that

he's about to meet his Maker.

Does he apologize for sinning and committing crimes against humanity and go to Heaven?

Or

Does he continue to accept a delusional take on reality and go to Hell?

Well, if you believe in things like that.

[Rose Siding]

18. That means he's quit trying all together.

What a thing.

[UTUSN]

19. Isn't he supposed to be "RELIGIOUS"? So he DOESN'T believe in the AFTER LIFE? n/t

[teryang]

20. This is all a facade for the press

There is no change in Iraq strategy by the ISG or anyone else.

The idea that this buffoon rules or is the commander in chief who decides strategy and considers the advice of generals or other advisors is nonsense. His mind is impaired and functions at about the level of an average 12 year old. His vocabulary, usage and grammar reveal mental impairment.

Lucky for the governing elite and media, the 12 year old reading level is the functional target of the mass media.

[Betty]

21. how many are already dead because he got it wrong????

asswipe. Your "legacy" is already cemented permanently: WORST PRESIDENT EVER

[rainbow4321]

22. Translation:

"By the time they uncover all my war crimes, I'll be dead so they won't be able to prosecute me".
