What the heck else can Rove have Bush do to prove he`s "in charge" of hurricane disaster plans? Have him take over Max Mayfield`s pointer at the National Hurricane Center? Rescue a Pomeranian in a lift tethered to a chopper? All folks have to do is take a long look at George Bush these days and they`ll know he`s not the guy they want on the other end of the distress call.
I can`t imagine having to depend on George Bush for anything. That would be like a pizza delivery guy showing up instead of the police after a deadly car crash or a game show host showing up in the OR once the patient is prepped for brain surgery. Bush should be in charge of nothing, except maybe filling ice cube trays at the ranch.
Watch Bush when he`s caught off guard, when the reporter`s question doesn`t match the answer he`s rehearsed. "Deer in the headlights look" used to be kind of a joke thing until I saw it firsthand in the president`s eyes. Sometimes Bush just searches the back of the room hoping to spot a nodding handler with a clue. Sometimes he just argues with the voice on the other end of the device wired under his jacket. I know no one is home because his lights aren`t even on.
This may be the end of the line for George W. Bush. He`s run out of "strategery", some Bush supporters have run out of excuses and the rest of us have run out of patience. I think when it`s all said and done, the breached levees will be the least of his problems.
