Hey JD, is W a bubble boy? If you don’t have an argument, don’t bother posting, its just flame materials for others.

W’s bubble status is well known by those that have been observing him for a long time. He’s unaware that Tom Delay is widely viewed as a criminal, he’s unaware that the Downing Street Memo’s have been widely dispersed and disseminated, and on and on.

Or you can argue that he just doesn’t care. Either way isn’t a good place for a President of the American People to constantly be. He needs to wake up and start looking outside of his Colorful People that constantly surround him and feed him the information they want him to hear.

But it also explains his perspective: he sees exactly what’s going on over there in wingnut-land, and how they shove the body-politic around. I always find his perspective valuable, and now I understand how he can be so relentlessly partisan– the guy sits there in the wingnuttosphere all damn day long… seething, no doubt, not just at the wingnuts, but also at namby-pamby Democrats who are too wimpy to throw a punch at those bastards when it’s needed.

I think he’s right on then: it’s been so long since we had a president we could be proud of– or at least be able to trust– that it’s too easy to forget that it should be the natural state of things.
