| Out of the mouths of conservatives |
It's not just Pat Buchanan who's fed up with the multiple, spiraling costs of the neoconservatives' Iraq grand adventure -- the latest of which are domestic preparedness and America's international image as a superpower (I doubt much of the world fears us, now. Mostly the hostile ones are probably studying maps of U.S. dams, levees and other potential weapons of mass destruction, while the friendly ones just kind of feel sorry for us...) Anyway, NewsMax dares to post a presidential bodyslam by Paul Craig Roberts, who calls for Bush's immediate impeachment for his administration's failures, from Iraq to Katrina. And before you dismiss Roberts as a liberal flunkie, read his bio ...
Roberts isn't alone: there's also Buchanan, Joseph Farah, other "paleocon" critics of Bush's laissez-faire immigration policy and governing style, plus the ultra-conservative Manchester Union Leader (which decries his lack of leadership on Katrina) and just about any real conservative who cares about government spending.
I think it's safe to say that the imperial reign of George W. Bush is over. The Dauphin is now free to skulk about the castle -- mimicking regent Cheney's God-awful growl, kicking his crown down the echoey hallways, sneaking up and pulling down the pants of the royal fool and joining his dear mum at hurling pebbles at poor people from the grand tower...
