Well, let's recall that Paul O'Neil, a conservative who actually worked within this administration, has described it's central members as follows, "as nasty as they come."
Let's also recall that John DiIulio, a religious conservative who also worked within this adminstration, described its functioning as follows,
Quote:"there is no precedent in any modern White House for what is going on in this one: complete lack of a policy apparatus. Besides the tax cut, which was cut and dried during the campaign, and the education bill, which was really a Ted Kennedy bill, the administration has not done much, either in absolute terms or in comparison to previous administrations at this stage, on domestic policy. What you've got is everything, and I mean everything, being run by the political arm. It's the reign of the Mayberry Machiavellis. [They] consistently talked and acted as if the height of political sophistication consisted in reducing every issue to its simplest black-and-white terms for public consumption, then steering legislative initiatives or policy proposals as far right as possible."
So, maybe Pat remembers correctly and maybe he doesn't. Perhaps Bush is such a flake that those words might have exited his mouth, but perhaps not. In either case, any rational community would have either man taken out back, put in stocks, and as the network cameras roll, have their white and wrinkly bums spanked.
but it proves the dope in the whitehouse can dupe just about anyone. :wink:
