Expect george's behavior to become increasingly bizarre and erratic as the pressure mounts

can't you just visualize the scenario...? bush hollers for tony or ed... neither respond... his assistant tells him they're in a meeting... he demands to know what they're meeting about... his assistant tells him... he then demands to know WHERE they're meeting... his assistant tells him... he marches out of the oval office and down the hall, finds the room, and busts through the door...

President Bush shocked Capitol Hill staffers and Republican leaders Monday when he crashed a meeting at the White House to deliver a blunt message that he wasn't backing down on Iraq and Republicans need to understand that.

"It was stunning," said one GOP aide who attended the meeting. "We couldn't believe he came in."

"We kept looking at each other, amazed he came in," said another Republican aide.

Bush was described as folksy, adamant and mildly profane as he interrupted the meeting between senior White House communications staffers Tony Snow and Ed Gillespie and GOP leaders. His message: the policy on Iraq isn't changing. He is not backing down and no one on Capitol Hill should be confused into thinking he is letting up.

brace yourselves... it's going to get weirder and weirder...

Oh, puh-l-e-e-e-e-eze, of COURSE Libby's clemency was politically timed for maximum advantage

just like my previous post, should this be in the least surprising...? c'mon... i don't think it was ed gillespie... i think it was karl rove... karl rove is still firmly ensconced in the white house, still spinning his evil webs of dark political manipulation... why WOULDN'T something like this issue from his dark, dark mind...?

This morning, the Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol — who accurately predicted the President’s decision to commute Libby’s sentence — suggested the order was timed to provide political cover for the decision by attacking President Clinton.

“Here’s why the president acted the way he did. He knew Bill Clinton was joining Hillary in Iowa on July 4th. No, I’m serious,” Kristol said. “So on July 2d, Ed Gillespie, who’s a very canny Republican operator, said, Let’s pardon Libby. Clinton will rise to the bait, and we could spend the last half of the week debating the unbelievable Clinton pardons against the defensible Bush pardon.”

Kristol concluded, “I regard this as an extremely clever Machiavellian move by the president. It cheers me up about the Bush White House, and I’m really heartened.”

what kristol is "heartened" about is that the dark arts are still emanating from the white house...
