Pair Of Kneepads For Mr. Boot!*

In Bush’s ongoing pre-election quest to shore up the base by inviting them to the White House to kiss his ass (a group of talk show hosts was recently there to sing the King’s praises, though the invited Rush Limbaugh did not attend – Oxycontin or Bush? The choices we face!), the L.A. Times’ Max Boot was not  left out.

The White House, of course, got more or less what it was after in a piece called "The Stubbornly Hopeful President", but Boot added a kicker:

I left the meeting unconvinced by Bush’s arguments on troop numbers but impressed by his resiliency and imperturbability.

This is not up to the Powerline Standard Of Kissassery

It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can’t get anyone to notice.

But it’s close enough for the cult to march on.

By the way, in the last 2.5 weeks Bush has done interviews with just about every news organization under the sun as he attempts to stop the flow of red ink from the GOP’s electoral chances. At one point do they give up on calling it an "exclusive"?

    Given that you’re discussing Max Boot and Powerline, is it Flowers for Algernon?

    “Oxycontin or Bush?”

    More likely some underage girl (boy?) from the Dominican Republic.

    What makes the title even funnier is hearing that statement in John Inman’s voice.

    Pretty much nothing seems worth thinking about. Maybe tomorrow. My life’s been generally bland today. Such is life. I’ve just been sitting around doing nothing, but eh.
