Allbritton on Bush’s Weird ‘Wouldn’t Let Them In’ Comment
Partly to annoy Janus/onan and Hiro/Aaron, who agree that my webloggy name-dropping has gotten out of control, but also because it’s a really good piece, I wanted to link unto Christopher Allbritton (of Back in Iraq 2.0)’s comments today about Bush’s really strange ad-lib yesterday, where he (Bush) said that Saddam wasn’t letting weapons inspectors into his country, so that’s why we invaded his ass: There is no spoon.
Sigh. First day of the post-Ari era (yet another Janus/onan/Hiro/Aaron annoyance, via the unexpanded reference). I really wish I could have read Ari’s explanation of that. Even if it had been the exact same explanation given by newly arisen presidential press secretary Scott McClellan, it would have been more fun coming from Ari.

This was a fascinating and yet scary quote from Bush. Obviously it’s not a premeditated lie like all the stuff in the SOTU. But it should seem clear that once he gets flustered, once he has to stray from the carefully-constructed talking points, it’s a frightening jungle in that head of his.
I’ve said all along that the most dangerous thing about the Bush presidency is how much he is controlled by those around him. When the strings get tangled, it’s a nightmare for all of us.

Bush Lost His Marbles?
THe president makes a startling assertion, completely at odds with what everyone remembers about the time just before the war. Amazing.

Bush is like one of those robot on Star Trek that starts spouting off random stuff when it is confused just before it overheats and explodes.
I just hope that when Bush overheats and explodes he doesn’t take us with him.
