reality bites

Judging from the haggard, drawn, and painfully aware expression on the face of our feckless leader over the last few days, I'd be willing to be that sometime in the very recent past, at a very private gathering of a handful of top government and corporate types, that a conversation similar to this has finally taken place:

G. W. Bush (in a stern, authoritative presidential voice) -
"OK, folks, it's time to come up with some serious damage control now. This New Orleans thing is starting to do some real damage to my presidency."

Unknown high official or businessman (in a tone of impatient irritation) -
"George, just shut up. This never was YOUR presidency."


It will be quite interesting to see how this all plays out.
