Dubya's Fall From Favor

How do you go from magic to toxic in one hurricane?
Ask Dubya. He can tell you. The once party potentate, fearless leader, slaughterer of terrorists and self-proclaimed "smoke 'em out"-er of Osama bin Laden is now persona non grata in his own Christian conservative campground, a/k/a the GOP. Can one lady, Katrina, have wreaked this much havoc and prompted rebellion? Seems so.
Before Katrina (OK, and Rita), Dubya's bacchanalian budget-bender approach to federal fiscal matters didn't seem to bother congressional Republicans all that much. Not enough for them to rebel against their commander in chief, in any event. Since Katrina, they seem to have had a come-to-Jesus moment.
