"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."--C.S. Lewis

After Bush's astonishing press conference today, I'm pretty sure the White House hasn't figured out what actually happened yesterday; they're still in clinical denial - over there - "inside the beltway". I'm not particularly surprised by this tone-deaf reaction either, this predictable "distancing" from the base by Bush and the Neocons is exactly why they lost THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE.
Maybe by Sunday, when the big-time pundits pile on, it'll begin to sink in to their thick skulls the enormity of this loss. But then again, maybe not; I'm unclear as to exactly how far out-of-touch these people really are [and by the looks of things, they're WAY out of touch]. In any case, I'm fed up with the lot of them; they really are common bums and we deserve better.
For comic relief, here is a little P.J. O'Roarke quote via carpe diem that channels Ronald Reagan [More where this came from]:"Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys."
They really are like drunken, adolescent hoodlems. That we alot such vast responsibility to people of such questionable competance is an error of enormous magnitude on our part. To be fair to the electorate though, there isn't a bonafide, classical statesman among them, Dems or Republicans - they're - all of them - just run-of-the-mill boobs with egos - and power - far greater than wiser men would dare entertain.
Yep Marge, it'll be a long while before the Conservative base goes to the mat again for these out-of-touch Mandarins. A long time.
