For the Bush team, rose-colored glasses

[DoYouEverWonder]

Was that Condoleezza Rice standing in City Hall Park yesterday? Could it have been?

Sure looked like her in a white blouse, crisp beige suit and single strand of large white pearls. But when this woman in the park began to speak, I was sure I must be mistaken. She was talking - not about the war in Iraq - but about the 2012 Olympic Games.

Could it really be that things in Iraq are going so splendidly, the United States' secretary of State doesn't need to pay attention anymore?

You see, that's the trouble, right there, with these rose-colored glasses they've all been wearing in the Bush White House. No one can see the problems anymore.

It'll take a day or so for the speech to sink in. But if Bush has lost Harvey and Buckley, it's hard to guess exactly who he might have left.

2. Losing Buckley and Harvey

I guess is the equivalent to LBJ losing Cronkite.

3. I can hardly wait for the "who lost Iraq?" witchhunts to start.

Those who will not learn from history,

Are just plain assholes.
