President Bush continued to try to spin his own inaction yesterday, but he may finally have reached a patch of reality beyond spin. Now he's the one drowning, unable to rescue himself by patting small black children on the head during photo-ops and making scripted attempts to appear engaged. He can keep going back down there, as he will again on Thursday when he gives a televised speech to the nation, but he can never compensate for his tragic inattention during days when so many lives could have been saved.
Bill Maher had a great quote last Firday where he pointed out that Bush is the first American president to "lose an entire metropolis to rising water and snakes". Maureen's point is well taken that pretty much everything that Bush tries to improve he just makes worse.
Perhaps he is some Bizarro world version of King Midas, all of the gold he touches turns to shit.
