Another Example of Bush Administration’s Arrogance

Remember that week a while back when Miers withdrew on Thursday and Libby was indicted by Friday? Then on Monday morning Bush nominated Alito.

That was what we psychology types like to call deflection. It was a “look over here” defense mechanism that this administration arrogantly believed would press a “reset” button on all the national anger and legislative backlash over their foibles and failings. It’s just one more example of the irresponsible, arrogant, inflated bullshit that goes on in this White House. They actually believed that they could change the subject and go back to 70% approval ratings.

No, Mr. President, it’s more complicated than that. This national anger has been a long time coming, and it’s not going away. You’re going to have to deal with criticism and questioning, and calling it irresponsible isn’t going to make it go away. You’re the irresponsible one. It’s time you accepted some accountability for your decisions in office.
