Re: George W. 'Deer in Headlights' Bush

Ellie,
Lord Acton once said "All great men are bad men".
Bruce,
He should have known, not within six months, but within the first six days. GWB's first test was the trashing of the White House by the departing Clintonoids. When Bush lied and denied that incident to avoid a confrontation and resulting unpleasantness, he failed his test. He showed weakness and a willingness to let his enemies get away with the inexcusable. He declared himself fair game for the next eight years; the new kid on the schoolyard willing to hand over his lunch money with a smile.
