The Bush administration has no idea how to govern...?
ok, it's behind the nyt select firewall so i don't know what else he said, but the teaser that accompanies the current krugman column (subscriber access only) in the nyt email headlines rattled my chain...
the notion that busho is somehow incompetent in issues of governance, management, leadership and administration is a serious delusion... they're goddam competent, in gaining power as krugman points out, but also in making it APPEAR that they're incompetent when what they're really doing is creating huge messes that erode confidence and instill fear in the populace... why...? fearful people are compliant people...
bushco's intent has NEVER been to govern... the intent is to amass money and power, to maintain a level of fear in the american people which makes that easier to accomplish, and to extend and solidify power through mechanisms of social control - by reducing civil liberties, watering down the constitution and using fundamentalist christian evangelical zealots as agents of both fear and repression... over the top...? i don't think so...
