but to reiterate the point I made earlier, which is this is the anti-9/11.
Just in terms of public confidence. When 9/11 happened, Giuliani, was right there. And just as a public presence, he was forceful. No public presence like that now.
So you had a surge of strength; people felt good about the country even though we’d been hit on 9/11. Now we’ve been hit again in a different way (and) people feel lousy. People feel ashamed. And in part that it because of the public presentation. In part that is because of the failure of Bush to understand immediately the shame people felt.
Sitting up there on the airplane and looking out the window? That was terrible!
And the three days of doing nothing, really, on Bush was terrible.
Even today, I found myself -- and as you know, I support his policies quite often – (but I) look at him today, and earlier in the program...this is how Mark Shields must feel looking at them. I’m angry at the guy, and maybe it’ll pass for me, but a lot of people, and a lot of Republicans, uh, are furious right now.

I've heard a lot of repubs saying the same thing lately - even though the usual Bush media lapdogs are already spinning out a new narrative that paints Bush as the hero of New Orleans.

Yep.
If enough moderates and old-guard conservatives in the GOP become fed up with the Boy King, there might be some hope for impeachment.
And you're right - more and more Americans are realizing they've been had by these con men. A tipping point may soon arrive. {Crosses fingers.}

I thought going after al Qaeda and OBL in Afghanistan was the right thing to do, and I supported that action.
I realized I'd fallen for the bait and switch when Smirk started talking about Iraq.

Afghanistan is about the only thing Bush did that was right , even though he managed to screw that up also .........
Hell every Democrat I knew was behind Bush in Afghanistan , I remember 1 person here in Wyoming ( member of the Freemen Militia) telling me that we wouldnt get Saddam , I said you freaking nut Case , this Texan Bush is certifible , he will go into Afghanistan , and escort Bin Laden Back the USA kicking him in the ass every inch of the way ........Sad day when a guy that plays G.I. Joe against the American goverment was right and I wasnt ...........
