WHAT DEMOCRATS FEAR IS FEAR ITSELF - Yahoo! News: "WASHINGTON -- Even longtime critics of
President Bush are surprised, even shocked, by the amount and the depth of Bush-bashing in this town.
'The administration lies ... unconscionable ... irresponsible ... vindictive ... inept' are the words used by one basher last week.
'You have to understand that the people in this administration have no principles. ... (Bush) is not a responsible human being,' said another.
'The kernel here is the acknowledgment of defeat (in
Iraq),' said a third.
The first of these bashers was Bruce Bartlett, a conservative economist who served on the staffs of Presidents Reagan and George H.W. Bush. He has just written a bashing book titled 'Impostor: How George W. Bush Bankrupted America and Betrayed the Reagan Legacy.'
The second was Andrew Sullivan, the talented conservative blogger, who added an odd conflation to the national debate by saying that Bush was a socialist and that he considered the Bush agenda to be plain old Christian fundamentalism.
The third, speaking from conservative Olympus, was William F. Buckley Jr. The title of his weekly column was 'It Didn't Work.' The second paragraph began: 'One can't doubt that the American objective in Iraq has failed. Our mission has failed because Iraqi animosities have proved uncontainable by an invading army of 130,000 Americans. ... The administration now has to cope with failure.'
Rubbing salt in the wounds, Bartlett added: 'If Bush were running today against Bill Clinton, I'd vote for Clinton.'"
