Bush off his game...

this is good, altho' i don't know what game it is that he's ever really been "on..."
The most immediate consequence of the new governing reality for Bush is the growing number of Republicans shedding their fear of publicly challenging the White House. . . . [Some] complained about a White House that seems sluggish and way off its game, participants said.

this is ridiculous...
"You adapt to the circumstances and the circumstances are different," said Mark McKinnon, Bush's political consultant and friend. But he added he detected no loss of confidence within the Bush team. "I get zero sense of that. This is an administration and a president that are like the Marines -- they're used to taking the beach, they're used to getting shelled. But they dig in and they do their jobs."

McKinnon said if anything Bush thrives under the pressure. "I've never seen the president burdened by the presidency," he said. "He's built to deal with really big events. It's in his DNA."

why ridiculous...? one, the only way bush could handle being a marine is wearing a marine uniform to a costume party... as a real marine, he wouldn't last a single day... second, i doubt seriously that he has any dna, at least of the human variety...
