The Worst Week of the Bush Presidency

Many reports call last week the worst week of the Bush Presidency. That's a bold statement, given that even the most run-of-the-mill weeks in the Bush presidency is an affront to any well-informed citizen who values democracy, privacy and honesty.

I think it's an overreaction. A headline. Harriet Miers' withdrawal from the Supreme Court justice nomination job will, at her expense, provide Bush with a new humililty that will mend him fences with his right wing base. He has been chastised, but Harriet is the one who gets the sound whipping.

Operating the United States of America is just another business that he was set up to operate, like the oil businesses W. ran (into the ground) in the past, he's the manager of this country.

Since before his 2001 appointment to the Oval Office, I have known that his credentials are light, and by 2004 everyone else should have known, too.

Thus, his 2004 re-election reveals more about the shallowness of this nations "board of directors" -- the electorate -- who rehired the inept CEO.

That the CEO, known for his firebrand and passion and stubbornness, recoiled so quickly in permitting the withdrawal of Harriet Miers reveals that the real "board of directors" who pull the strings are the hard, clenched fist right wing.

My question, Darla, is it worth the cost of a briefly humiliated Bush to have such right wing radicals in charge of the Supreme Court?
