Can an old Bush learn new tricks?

The White House obviously hopes that in pushing steadily ahead, Bush, like Reagan and (eventually) Clinton, can regain the nation's approval.

Don't count on it.

Why? Because this president seems characterologically incapable of doing the things he needs to do to have a legitimate shot at restoring public trust.

back in my corporate days, i was regularly asked, "can you teach an old dog new tricks...?" routinely, my answer was to ask two questions in return... one, how old is this dog...? and, two, how many tricks has he learned so far...?
