WOW!!!! Thomas Friedman: Dancing Alone APPLAUSE!!!

Last week, George Will and Andrew Sullivan, this week Tom Friedman and Tucker Carlson:



The glaciers are breaking apart.

I read the column this morning as well. Sheesh...finally.

Something I read yesterday (can't recall where) made a point which I've made elsewhere. Even if/when Bush falls in the next election, the rightwing media machine that has been built up over the last decade or so will begin a full attack on the new administration immediately.

Blatham, you will recall that I posted a thread that recommended that Bush declare he will not run for reelection rather than be defeated for a second term as happened to his Poppie.

Bush is so stubborn that he won't have the good sense to make the Lyndon Johnson gesture before he embarrasses himself further.

Do you think that John McCain will announce his presidential candidacy for the Republican Party and make it easier for Bush?

I must be drinking to dream up this scenario.

There is, as you suggest, zero chance Bush will not run.

It appears to me that McCain has made the decision to do what he can from his position in the senate, and via the status and credibility he has established as a principled and dedicated politician. And that's no small small amount of real influence. I sure like the fellow.
