Reply #15: My thoughts on what I have been seeing is that I believe

Bush is being thrown to the dogs. First they let him make that press conference yesterday and let Helen Thomas question him. He didn't handle it very well. However, the media couldn't ignore it like they often do so they had to air it. Then Wolf Blitzer interviewed Helen afterwards about it. More MSM face time for Helen.

Then Randi Rhodes appeared on two CNN shows. What two truth tellers in one day who both are very critical of Bush? Usually, the only "liberals" allowed on CNN are the ones who think Bush is great. I know for sure that Randi is a liberal. I don't really know Helen's politics because she is a journalist in the old-fashioned tradition first and foremost so she doesn't let her bias interfere with her job.

So my feelings are that here in twenty four hours there is a breakout of truth for a change. Randi surprised Lou Dobbs when she told him that Capitol Hill Democrats were shut out of having a say in government. If they want a hearing they are banished to the basement with no official status. He looked genuinely surprised. Don't these guys watch C-SPAN?

So it seems Bush has lost his protectors. They are letting him hang himself with his own words. He seems drunk or heavily medicated most of the time and no one is covering up for him anymore. Look for more of this to happen unless daddy Bush steps in to protect his son.
