"Bush's Erratic Behavior Worries White House Aides"
wow! this one's just plain scary... delete if a dupe.

"Worried White House aides paint a portrait of a man on the edge, increasingly wary of those who disagree with him and paranoid of a public that no longer trusts his policies in Iraq or at home.

“It reminds me of the Nixon days,” says a longtime GOP political consultant with contacts in the White House. “Everybody is an enemy; everybody is out to get him. That’s the mood over there.”

In interviews with a number of White House staffers who were willing to talk off the record, a picture of an administration under siege has emerged, led by a man who declares his decisions to be “God’s will” and then tells aides to “fuck over” anyone they consider to be an opponent of the administration."

“We’re at war, there’s no doubt about it. What I don’t know anymore is just who the enemy might be,” says one troubled White House aide. “We seem to spend more time trying to destroy John Kerry than al Qaeda and our enemies list just keeps growing and growing.”

1. Before anybody says it...
Before anybody says that CHB is totally unreliable... just because they screwed up one story doesn't mean they are wrong this time. It looks like they have several inside sources on this, and it sure has the ring of truth.

2. God, that article almost reads as satire. What's CHB's slant?

I always try to "consider the source."

What's the "color" of Blue? Are they underground? net-centric? crankishly anti-authority?

I am too tired to go there again

Sorry, soggy, welcome to the DU :hi: Pardon my bad manners, not usually up at this hour on a school night. I'll try to see if I can find a link to the thread on this topic from the other day; it was a doosey!
