The burping of the president
More and more evidence is emerging that President Bush has not just been ill-served by his staff, he has been outright infantalized by them. When adult decisions are made, he seems to be in the dark. Consider the following:

Larry Wilkenson says a memo saying hundreds of thousands of troops would be needed to pacify Iraq may have been kept from the president. He points the finger at Condi Rice or her successor Stephen Hadley. Burp...

The Prince of Darkness reports in his column that President Bush was livid with his staff over the scheduling during his South American tour. "The crowning indignity for Bush was the Friday night state dinner starting at 10 p.m., an hour when the president normally is in bed. He left the dinner early, but it was midnight by then." Burp...

And then there is the allegation that the president relied on yet another forged document for a major speech -- this time on Veterans Day, when he came out swinging in defense of the war.

Well, at least he had more pre-war intel than congress...
